Sunnyfields Caravan Park

Keen to get out into the Peak District National Park? You can explore dramatic subterranean limestone formations on guided tours of Poole’s Cavern (10 minutes’ drive), or take a hilltop stroll up to the 19th-century folly of Solomon’s Temple (five minutes) for spectacular views over Buxton to the dales beyond. Three Shires Head (15 minutes) is another gorgeous spot with packhorse bridges spanning waterfalls and pools where you can go wild swimming. You can easily spend a day wandering around Buxton (10 minutes), admiring the spa town’s handsome Georgian architecture, tasting the healing waters at St Ann’s Well and having a nose around its upmarket shops. Bakewell (15 minutes) is another attractive local town, where you can browse busy boutiques and take romantic walks along the banks of the River Wye. Close by is Chatsworth House (25 minutes), with its guided tours of opulent apartments, walks through the Capability Brown-designed formal gardens and delicious afternoon teas – just the treat to round off a special afternoon.
