Why stay here ...

Welcome to Coney Grey Farm

The site which is on a working farm is set in 0.5 acres of land with fantastic panoramic views of the surrounding countryside and is open all year round.

The CL is on a very gentle slop with some pitches needing levelling blocks. All pitches are on grass with 16 amp electric hook ups.

There are several public houses about 2 miles that serve meals.

We have a good wide access off the B6013 Chesterfield Road, which links the A610 near Ripley and the A615 at Oakerthorpe.

We are situated in the Amber Valley area  on the outskirts of Pentrich Village - famous for the last Revolution in England in 1817.

There are several public footpaths across the farm. Dogs are welcome but please keep them under control and on a lead when walking them. Children are welcome.

Junction 28 of the M1 is 9 miles away and the A38 is 2.5 miles away in Ripley.

Crich Tramway Village is 4 miles away. For steam train enthusiasts, there is Midland Railway (4 miles) in Butterley near Ripley and others a little further afield.

Matlock, Derby, Mansfield and Chesterfield are a 30 minute drive away. Chatsworth House, Haddon Hall, Hardwick Hall, Kedleston Hall and Carsington Water are all about 40 minutes drive away. Belper and Denby Pottery are also not far away.

There is a Golf Club and coarse fishing within 4 miles.

A selection of leaflets on places to visit are available from the farmhouse.

Great site

This is a great little site approach road a bit ropey but farmer assured us he is attending to it otherwise can't fault it only live 30 miles away but would certainly come again very central for visiting the white peak area.

Loved it here!

Yes it’s a farmers field. Yes you need levellers, who knew it’s a field…….Yes a little road noise but not much really. Yes a few mooing cows (on a dairy farm …). But…. The views and the tranquility are perfect. We didn’t bring our dogs but it’s perfect. Walks from... Show more

A tranquil site

This a beautiful, quiet, site on the edge of a working farm, with incredible views of the surrounding area. The site is sloped but we did not require blocks for our caravan. The facilities (a water pipe and electric hookup) are basic but that's what we expected. We thoroughly enjoyed... Show more

Beautiful views at a bargain price.

Four night stay over the early May Bank holiday. This is our second visit to Coney Grey Farm CL and we were the only ones on site, which was surprising as it's only £16 per night inc EHU. (May 2023). It's a beef farm so expect the odd tractor and mooing. Beautiful... Show more

Perfect for visiting the White Peak

We have just spent a four night mid week break at Coney Grey Farm CL. The site is easy to get to by following the route in the CAMC book and the farm is clearly signposted which ever way you approach. Sat Nav wants you to turn off before the... Show more

It was ashame to have to go home! Enough said really! Clean, tidy, great views, welcoming and we will definitely be returning. On a slight slope so recommend levelling blocks, but not really an issue. It is a working dairy farm so expect to see the milking... Show more

The views are incredible

We stayed here for one night and we didn't want to leave. This CL is what Caravanning is all about. We stayed on a working cattle farm in the middle of the countryside and the views were breathtaking. The pitches are uneven and blocks are a must but well worth the... Show more
