Why stay here ...
The Green Farm CL is a secluded, peaceful site in the hamlet of King Sterndale, yet only 3 miles from Buxton. It is a beautiful setting overlooking the Wye Valley with a backdrop of Grade II listed limestone barns. Views are 360 degrees of fields, ancient protected woodlands of the Wye Valley, and the lovely village green with its "Butter Cross" commemorating Elizabeth I's coronation. The site has mature trees to provide dappled shade. Facilities are simple: Drinking water, waste via a natural environmentally friendly cess pit, battery charging and recycling and rubbish facilities.
King Sterndale is a small hamlet of limestone buildings around a village green with post box and telephone, and a beautiful church. Green Farm is ideally placed to explore the Peak District based at its heart in a rural setting, but just a few miles from Buxton with its Opera House, Pavilion Gardens, Pooles Cavern, Tree tops adventure at Go Ape and many pubs, restaurants and shops. Bakewell, Chatsworth House, Monsal Head and the Goyt valley are all easily accessible by car. Walks exist from the door down Wye Dale, Woo Dale, Chee Dale and Deep Dale (a wildlife trust area) with easy access to the Midshires Way and the Monsal Trail (a registered cycle route - Sustrans 680), with bike hire available from the nearby Blackwell Mill. The River Wye, within 100 metres, is one of Europe's best fly fishing rivers (rod licences from the relevant authorities necessary). The Buxton & High Peaks Golf Club, approximately 5 miles away, one of the oldest in the Derbyshire region, will test even the most avid of golfers; it is meticulously attended and is in top condition.
Testimonial recently received:

Green Farm Superb!
We really enjoyed our 2 nights at Green Farm, in its close proximity to Buxton. The bus was available with a walk to the main road. The owners have the property in immaculate condition and were very obliging and good to communicate with. Fantastic walks nearby including the Monsal Trail.... Show more

No electricity only adds to the magic!
A super site that just goes to confirm why you buy a caravan - self sufficiency (no electricity), using your own facilities and enjoying the silence (until the pheasants kick in early doors). The owners really go the extra mile to welcome you (make use of their advice regarding accessing... Show more

Very peaceful!
We stayed for two nights at this very pretty and tranquil site. Brett was very welcoming and helpful - the views were lovely and the walks and bike rides challenging but beautiful. there is an issue with soft ground but we were fine. We loved it!

Wow what an increase in charges!!
Because of the other glowing reviews for this site, I decided to go ahead with our booking despite the astronomic 57% increase in charges to those detailed in the 2017/18 sites directory. We found this very small site easily enough and were able to find a suitable place to park our... Show more

Beautiful setting. Just a green field with a large sycamore in the middle. Bordered by woods and a field full of sheep and lambs who come up to be fed and stroked. Friendly helpful owner. We had the field to ourselves for 5 out of 7 days and didn't miss... Show more
