  • Adults-only site on a scenic smallholding in the Peak District
  • A mile from Hartington and 20 minutes’ drive from Buxton and Bakewell
  • Dog-friendly walks right from the park on ancient routes and trackways
If you’re after a blissful base in the Peak District, Chapel Farm Caravan Park – set on a smallholding with first-rate views over the surrounding countryside – might just be your kind of place. But before you click book and start packing the kids and smart devices, it’s to be noted that this Derbyshire destination has two key USPs to make it even more of a restful respite: an adults-only policy and limited mobile phone signal… This is a place to digitally detox among the lush greenery or ask the dog if they want to go walkies – four-legged friends are permitted at the park as long as they’re well-behaved and kept on a lead. Set off on trails from the grounds through ancient routes and trackways, past old stone cottages and buildings like the early 17th-century Hartington Hall (a mile) and Charles Cotton Hotel (a mile and a half). People-pleasing Peak District paths are also close by – dawdle over to Beresford Dale, leading to Wovescote Dale and the famed Dovedale limestone valley stepping stones (25 minutes’ drive), then head to Upper Dove valley on quieter trails enroute to the Norman-era Pilsbury Castle and Crowdecote village (15 minutes). Prefer to potter with a bit more purpose? Venture to the villages of Hartington and Biggin (both less than a mile and a half) to run errands at the local shops or, better yet, to pull up a pew at one of the pubs. This site is fully committed to getting visitors back to basics, so it has no showers or toilets, but a chemical disposal point is available.

Powered grass and gravel caravan site

Liked: The views! Stunning part of Derbyshire. The site is simple but has the important things, fresh water & chemical disposal, with good access to electric hook up for all pitches. The owner is very friendly and helpful on arrival. A public footpath goes through the farm giving you durect access to good walks. Half an hour to Hartington for food and drink and a lovely walk there & back.

Disliked: Nothing.

Powered grass and gravel caravan site

Liked: Fantastic site, brilliant helpful owner. Would definitely book again if I could guarantee the people mentioned below weren't, there or at least took more control of their dog.

Disliked: People who turned up with a young noisy out of control dog and made no attempt to put it on a lead, so I decided to leave a day early.

Nice site but basic - expected nothing less so not disappointed.

Liked: Lovely location. Great views. Spacious pitches. Nice site for a break away.

Disliked: There was a dog in the vicinity which barked constantly - I think someone locks it outside when they go to work.

Liked: As usual the peace and quiet and the lovely views

Disliked: DFor dog being allowed to run riot everywhere by her "first visit" owners. Always off the lead and being young was very exuberant. Owner had a lead most times when outside but unfortunately never clipped it to the dog. Do not expect to have dogs bounding around, booking site says must be on a lead so perhaps the owners could put a few signs up to enforce it.

Local attractions

Chapel Farm’s in the south of the Peak District National Park, an area known for its limestone scenery as well as spa towns like Buxton (20 minutes’ drive). Referred to as the most complete Regency town in the UK, this Georgian-era settlement is worth a look for an amble around the shops of the Cavendish Arcade set inside the original thermal baths. Just outside town, pootle towards the limestone Poole’s Cavern or go further to Castleton (40 minutes) in the High Peak for four show caves, including Blue John Cavern where the semi-precious Blue John mineral is mined. Have a gander at other eye-catching attractions in the area too on trips to stately homes such as Chatsworth House and Haddon Hall, both half an hour from the site, or drive the 20 minutes to Bakewell and feast your eyes on the lovely River Wye setting while sating your stomach with a Bakewell pudding.
