Why stay here ...

Our CL is a peaceful site set within the beautiful Derbyshire countryside. It is a large grassy site in open countryside. with a small pond. The site is situated beyond Heritage Wood, our sponsored woodland, where people can dedicate a tree for any reason they choose. The CL is in a separate area to the dedicated trees. You drive through Heritage Wood to reach the site. Please be aware that Heritage Wood is open to the public.

All pitches are hardstanding with water, electric hook up and grey water disposal. We have an onsite toilet which is for CL users only.

There is a local pub within 1 mile of Heritage Wood, well worth a visit to the the Red Lion in Hollington, which is famous for its extensive pie menu. In the neighbouring village of Shirley, you will find The Saracens Head.

The Peak District town of Ashbourne is just 6 miles away and in the opposite direction approximately 10 miles away, is the city of Derby.

First time here. Very helpful admin, when we were booking. We visited in February when a complete week of rain was forecast. The site was peaceful despite visitors to the wood. The pitches were great even with all the rain, not water logged, especially as we have two dogs that... Show more

My last visit here was 33 years ago!

The last time I stopped at Heritage Wood was 33 years ago, shortly after they first opened! Boy oh boy have those sapling trees of 33 years ago grown into magnificent trees and as for the number of dedicated trees, there are now something like 7,000 of them with many of... Show more

Very peaceful, very dark

This is a small site, with the 5 pitches in a line. A couple feel a bit close together. However, each pitch is separated by trees. Each has its own water tap which is great. No recycling facilities, which felt a bit strange. The site... Show more

Secluded little spot

We spent 3 nights at this woodland site. It is set among woodland and is shady and enclosed by trees. It's a good flat site, easy to access and the pitches are nicely spaced out. It is mainly grass and we had constant rain while we were there, but luckily... Show more

Beautiful and tranquil site

This is a lovely site and I do not agree that it needs some TLC! It is a CL, those of us who love CL's don't need toilet blocks, immaculate lawns or any other club or commercial site advantages.  What we want is peace and quiet and lovely surroundings and... Show more

Could be a lovely site

Site peaceful but could do with some 'upgrading' by that I don't mean toilet blocks etc. The pitches are a little muddy and could be better if grassed over properly. I see some people thinks its a 'graveyard', not so its a memorial wood with the public sponsoring trees for... Show more

Tranquil Weekend

Peaceful, tranquil little site, set in woods. 5 places very private. Entrance gate lift up, direct from public car park, felt a lttle vunerable at night, very dark from the trees, ( glad we had the dogs).
