Peaslows Peak Camping

You’ll be able to see Mam Tor from the site – and once you’ve done that you’ll no doubt be keen to get over there to see it more closely. You can walk there in about an hour and a half, or drive to the car park (15 minutes’ drive) for access to the summit. It’s a popular local favourite and wonderful to visit at any time of day – but perhaps at its best during a sunrise or sunset walk. Another favourite local walk or bike ride takes you along the Monsal Trail from Bakewell (25 minutes) – and don’t forget to try out the local puddings in town once you’ve finished your outing along the former railway line. Buxton (10 minutes) is also a good place to find tasty food; while you’re there, perhaps try the boating lake, visit Poole’s Cavern or catch a show at the opera house. There are plenty more great things to do around the Peak District too – perhaps you’d like to visit the Blue John Cavern or Peak Cavern near Castleton (10 minutes) or head to the Chatsworth Estate (25 minutes), where it’s easy to full a full day visiting the grand house and wandering around the grounds to see the farmyard and have fun at the huge adventure playground.
