  • Small, modern caravan park in the Peak District National Park
  • A 20-minute drive from Chatsworth Estate and 10 minutes from Buxton
  • Award-winning pub within walking distance
A small, modern and well-kept site, within easy reach of Buxton and Bakewell and a short walk from an award-winning pub – Farditch Farm is quite the Peak District pleaser. This friendly park in the village of Chelmorton is the place to settle for a little while if you seek your own space; valuing quality over quantity, the owners have elected to set up just a handful of pitches, each one spacious and surrounded by landscaping for the dual win of privacy and pretty colour. There's also good vehicle access, although the site is quite close to a busy road and does experience some traffic noise. Facilities have been limited to the essentials to maintain an uncrowded vibe. But what essentials they are – the smart central facilities building has a cosy lounge area and communal kitchen, and the adjacent toilet block has all mod cons, including plenty of showers, an accessible bathroom and handy touches including hairdryers. A cycle storage area is available on request, with secure storage and bike wash point. Skipping out from the site you can your pick from rural rambles on the miles and miles of trails that network the Peak District National Park, sampling the puddings in Bakewell and taking the waters in the spa town of Buxton. Pick up your eats at Chatsworth’s farm shop, 20 minutes’ drive away, or wander down to the local pub, the Church Inn, to see why it’s picked up awards for its offerings (tasty food and a fire by which to sup your pint, perchance?)

Highly recommended, spotless campsite in a beautiful Peak District spot. Guests rave about modern facilities, spacious pitches. Minor road noise for some, campervan pitches can be close. Overall a wonderful, peaceful stay.

Sarah S.

Powered cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite

Liked Lovely site, great location. Plenty of space on each pitch for a caravan/camper plus a car. Big field nearby to watch the sunset. Really good on site facilities and a shared room with sofas/telly etc.

Easy to drive in to Bakewell and Buxton. Short walk to a nice cosy pub with great food and beer choices.

Powered cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite

Liked Absolutely wonderful site. The owners have made this into a fantastic place to escape from it all. Superb toilet and shower facilities, kept ultra clean. Pitch sizes are very generous and privacy achieved due to the hedges inbetween. Dogs are treated to plenty of dog walking areas, with the addition of a walled in garden where they can run to their hearts content. There is road noise as previously mentioned, but nothing to worry about. Also remember to take sturdy steel pegs for your awning.

Disliked Nothing, our stay was perfect!

Primitive gravel and cement/asphalt campervan campsite (no awning)

Liked Good facilities. Especially the kitchen is very well-equipped.
Easy check-in.
Nice views.
Good location if you want to visit Bakewell and Buxton (for shops).
The dog field is very safe. Our dog enjoyed it a lot!

Disliked The main road can be a bit loud at times.
The local pub was a bit further than expected, on foot.
The gravel pitches were good, but rather small.
The wifi was hard to connect to.

Local attractions

With Chelmorton in the midst of the Peak District National Park, there are heaps of outdoorsy activities within easy reach. Walkers and cyclists have miles of trails to pick from; popular favourites nearby include the Tissington and Monsal trails. Horse riding, canoeing and climbing excursions are also available around the park. And might you fancy pottering around the country’s fave country house? Then it’s off to Chatsworth, 20 minutes from the site – the Italianate stately home has been voted to the top of the polls several times for its fab collection of art, its stunning state rooms and its gorgeous gardens. There’s also a farmyard and playground here for the amusement of smaller visitors. Plan to spend a bit of time in both the local towns of Buxton and Bakewell – the former for its grand opera house and elegant spa town heritage, the latter for poking about in the market and sampling its famed sweet treats (which is better – the tart or the pudding? Well, there’s only one way to settle that debate…)
