We did 3 x 5 ish mile walks directly from the site during our stay all across fields with pub stops.
Thank you we enjoyed our stay and the location.

Liked: Nice simple site in a lovely location. Good comms from the owner. Close to Tagg Lane Dairy and The Royal Oak at Hurdlow. We walked a route from the site to Lathkill Dale and back. Walking on the road down to Monyash felt pretty dangerous (fast cars and motorbikes not caring to slow down) so we returned using footpaths - some of which were interesting.
Site has clean water and elsan disposal. You'll have to be self-contained. Not much else to say really.
Disliked: Grass was a bit long but guess it's kept that way to minimise issues when there is heavy rain.

Liked: The view
Disliked: Affriad, the grass was too long, cuttings left so we couldn't play outside without feet getting soaked and can getting caked in wet grass cuttings. Tap hose connector didn't work so we struggled to fill the water tank, getting soaked. While pubs were not far the route was dangerous along roads all the way.

Liked: We stopped for three nights to explore the Peak District the site has really beautiful views lots of space and freedom.
The owner was really friendly and gave us some details on the area, we used the Peak District kids blog and found some spots to go exploring. Everything was in an easy drive so it was really handy and we stopped by the local ice cream dairy just up the road from the site.
Would definitely visit again.
