East Peak Campsite

Taking life slowly? Stroll down to Our Cow Molly (15 minutes' walk), where you can buy milk and eggs if you're running short of supplies. Bradfield village (10 minutes’ drive) has an inviting pub, a café/bistro and a lovely picnic spot by the river Loxley. Ease the kids gently into outdoor life with meanders around local reservoirs such as Damflask (five minutes) and Agden (10 minutes). Alternatively, get cracking on adrenaline-inducing activities straight away with off-road cycling adventures in the Peak District National Park (five minutes), or rock climbing on challenging crags such as Agden Rocher and Rivelin Edge (both 10 minutes). Spend the day in pretty Castleton village (25 minutes), touring the four show caves, climbing up to Peveril Castle (five minutes’ walk from the village) or wandering footpaths in the Hope Valley. For an urban trip out, have a potter around the vast Winter Garden glasshouse or tour the former foundry at Kelham Island Museum in Sheffield (20 minutes’ drive). The site is an excellent base for exploring the Peak District National Park and its attractions such as Stanage Edge (20 minutes) renowned for gritstone climbing or the Derwent Valley (10 minutes) and cycle hire at the Upper Derwent Visitor Centre (15 minutes). It's also conveniently located on the far outskirts of Sheffield (20 minutes), which is handy for those who want to visit the outdoorsy city, which is easily reachable by bus, car or taxi.
