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.

A tranquil site
Coney Grey Farm
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 our stay and will definitely be back, as we have family in the area.
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 views from the pitches with easy access from the road and up the farm track.
Two EHU posts, water and waste by the entrance. Grey waste tip into the fence as you won't be able to lift it into the Black waste toilet disposal.
This is what a proper CL is all about. Basic and cheap.
Too many CLs are trying to be too fancy and are becoming very expensive.
Field is slightly sloping and can be wet when it's been raining. Blocks are recommended but we only needed one ramp on one side of the van to level it.
Footpath for dog walking through the fields is by the entrance.
We noticed this time that the road noise from the A38, about half a mile away was constant and rather annoying and what sounded like a large fan in one of the cow barns started very early. But this is the only downside.
Short drive to Cromford and the High Peak Trail and also Crich Tramway, 2 for 1 for CAMC members.
Thoroughly recommend the walk from High Peak Junction to Black Rocks although it's a 1 in 8 uphill walk. There is a car park at Black Rocks. Carry further along the trail to Middleton Top for spectacular views.
Be aware the Derbyshire County Council has
increased the parking charges on all their carparks so look out for roadside parking near to your destination. Most are cash only machines. £2.50, £4.50 & £7.00.

Perfect for visiting the White Peak
Coney Grey Farm
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 farm.
Call in at the farmhouse and you will be shown where the field is. The field is on a gentle slope and you should have no trouble in getting the caravan level. I can't see the need for lots of blocks as in another review. We managed fine using just the jockey wheel. Its a large field for just five vans so space is not a problem. Electric hook ups, Fresh water and a waste disposal point are all here.
The site is very handy for visiting Belper, Matlock, Ecclesbourne Valley Railway, Peak Rail. Cromford Mills and a delightful one mile Narrowboat cruise on the Cromford canal, pre booking is a must on that one. Also Tissington and Carsington Water are nearby.
This is a working dairy farm. Our only fault is the road noise from the distant A38 if the wind is blowing towards the site, if sitting outside, but thats all.
A lovely site that we shall be returning to next time we visit the Peak District.
