Dog-friendly farm-style site on the edge of the Peak District
A 20-minute drive from Buxton and 25 minutes from Alton Towers
Walking distance from watersports and pubs; walking trails nearby

Pining to get away to the pretty Peak District? From Camping at The Hollies, a farm-style site on the edge of the national park, you’ll be able to put your best foot forward and get to walking or biking through valleys, woods and caverns… or mixing it up with a meander in some of the park's characterful towns such as Buxton, 20 minutes’ drive away, and Bakewell, half an hour's drive away. The backdrop here is The Roaches – just one of the good spots for those of you who are keen to go hiking, as there are more walks accessible right from the site or a short car ride away. While you’re in the local area, you may want to pay a visit to Tittesworth Reservoir, just 15 minutes’ walk away down the road and a proper watersports haven. Pubs are also on hand here to keep up the merry time – including a couple within walking distance for an easy meal out. In Hartington, 20 minutes’ drive away, there are village shops, cafés and tea rooms for a coffee and a cake (or two, depending on how far you’ve walked). Leek (five minutes’ drive) or Rudyard (15 minutes) are other local spots with shops, restaurants and pubs. On site, a few sheep and chickens roam around. There are basic facilities – on-site toilets (proper ones, not portable-style) are provided and there are four showers (bring coins for the meters if you want to use these). Firepits are available to hire, but they require a cash-only deposit and you'll only be allowed to burn wood purchased on site.

Liked: The site is located in a wonderful location and has great views and access to walks.
We arrived late but as we had beforehand there was no problem.

Disliked: Unfortunately one of my kids had an injury and we had to cancel our camping holiday after only a few hours after our arrival. Such a shame we couldn't enjoy the site or access to walks

Local attractions

In such a scenic setting, you may well spend a lot of your time outdoors … there’s a valley trail and Thor’s Cave in Manifold Valley (20 minutes’ drive) and cavern tours and woodland walks around Poole's Cavern & Buxton Country Park (15 minutes). Skip over the stepping stones at Park Dovedale & the White Peak (half an hour) or do the loop around Dovedale (half an hour), another top beauty spot. Rudyard Lake (20 minutes) is heavy on adventure too, with an activity centre, steam railway, cycle paths and boat trips. If you’re particularly daring, Madrenaline Activities (10 minutes) runs outdoor activities such as segways, axe throwing and archery. Alton Towers (25 minutes) has many more adrenaline thrills. Family-friendly attractions are all around, including Peak Wildlife Park (15 minutes) and the ice cream farm at Blaze Farm & The Potty Sheep (20 minutes). If it’s a peaceful place you’re after, Bakewell (half an hour) and Matlock (45 minutes) both fit the bill. The former has Bakewell puddings and a medieval bridge and the latter is a historic spa town. Biddulph Grange Garden (20 minutes), a National Trust landscaped Victorian garden, is just as peaceful.
