Peaceful park near the Peak District
Easy access to Derby and Nottingham; two pubs five minutes' walk away
New toilet and shower block kept to immaculate standards

What a peaceful park this is for Peak District hols – on 11 acres of quiet woodland near the national park and set deep in the Derbyshire countryside with picnic areas peppered all around. And what a pleasing park this is for those who insist on amenities being immaculate and up to date – the toilet and shower block comes with disabled access, baby changing and showers with hot and cold water, and is kept in tiptop condition at all times by the friendly site team. Riddings Wood Holiday Park is a rural park but with easy access to urban centres like Derby and Nottingham as well as to the hikes, bike rides and canters of the Peak District. (If you're a bit bamboozled as to what to do first, have a look at the tourist info point in reception or ask the team for tips.) Campfires are allowed if you need a bit of warming upon return. And finally, what a pint-friendly site Riddings Wood is too – the only thatched-roof pub in Derbyshire, Moulders Arms (aka The Thack), is a short stroll away; and the Seven Stars, a community pub, is just across the road. Cheers…

What customers say

Great staff, clean amenities, lovely woodland spot & play area. Nearby pubs are a bonus. Some feedback noted sloping sites, mud, busy period facility issues & upkeep needs. Still, good value, many would come back.

Powered grass tent or trailer tent site

Liked Great facilities, toilets/showers are lovely and modern. Playpark is great for the kids. Can have a nice stroll through the woods and just a short walk from a couple of lovely pubs. There is 2 sections to the site, one up top and one on the field. The field pitches were much more spacious than the top centre section, we were pitched in the field section near the play park and had great sized pitches with the whole field to look out onto. Also love that you can use fire pits, makes a nice cosy outdoor evening.

Disliked Very hilly and the pitches are on a downward slant. We didn’t find this too much of an issue but it did mean furniture was uneven and anything that could slide would slide downward (beds, carpet etc) we all woke half way down our beds in a morning.

Liked Big site, plenty of room and playground for kids to play with. Anoki curry house arriving to deliver curries is a genius move!

Disliked No where near enough toilet and shower facilities for the amount of people there, literally queueing to use showers & toilets at times. Shower water was cold most the time, to get a hot shower you had to get up extra earlier or wait until the afternoon or evening. There was another toilet/shower block on site, but was out of order and didn’t smell great, luckily wasn’t near it.

The surrounding area was not exactly picturesque, in fact dilapidated would be a better description.

Safe to say, will not be booking here again.

Local attractions

To the Peak! The Peak District National Park is but a short drive from Riddings Wood Holiday Park, and has a bit of what you fancy for all ages and inclinations. If you're in the area to hike, there are more Peak District trails than you can shake a (walking) stick at, from the shorter treks of seven or so miles around the upper Dove Valley and Pilsbury Castle, to long-distance paths like the Limestone Way (46 miles), the Derwent Valley Heritage Way (55 miles) or the Peak District parts of the Pennine Way, running for 268 miles from the northern Peak District to just inside the Scottish border. Climbers and cavers also delve into all things Peak: thousands of routes for all abilities are all over the park for climbers, including Burcen Edge for beginners and more hair-raising ascents like Debauchery and Mad Dogs and Englishmen for the severely experienced. If you're of a cavernous disposition, make your way to the village of Castleton and its four show caves, Blue John, the Peak, Treak Cliff and Speedwell Cavern with underground boat trip. Matlock Bath has a cable car to take adventurers to limestone caverns The Heights of Abraham, and Poole's Cavern near Buxton has vast caves to explore before an above-surface walk around Buxton Country Park. Other attractions like Chatsworth House and Gardens and the old Crich Tramway are to hand for the historically-minded, alongside old Peak District villages and market towns for tearooms, restaurants, family pubs and lots of shopping: try Buxton, Ashbourne and Bakewell to start you off. Back at Matlock Bath, let the kids go large at the rides and attractions of theme and play park Gullivers Kingdom for ages two to 13; the 600-acre Matlock Farm Park nearby should keep them busy for a bit too.
