Why stay here ...

We are a hillside working farm overlooking the rolling hills of the beautiful Derbyshire Dales just outside Matlock.

Set in one acre, the site has two terraced levels to take advantage of the stunning views to the West, as a result you will be blessed with some jaw dropping sunsets and glorious skies for stargazing (weather permitting!).

All pitches are level, hardstanding and fully serviced with electric hook up, water and grey waste outlet. They are set in a natural meadow with wild flower meadow banks. CCEP and Recycling/dry waste points are situated on each Tier.

We welcome children and well behaved pets, as we are a working farm we would ask that these are supervised at all times and are not allowed to wander from the enclosed caravan site area.

There is a public footpath direct from the farm access, which takes you to a beautiful woodland walk with natural dams and a waterfall. There is also Matlock Moor, belonging to the Forestry Commission, for extensive forest walks just a few hundred yards from the farm entrance.

Although the site is peaceful and rural, we are only two miles from Matlock Town with its Supermarkets, pubs, restaurants and vibrant vintage shops across the bridge. Matlock also boasts a fabulous leisure centre with gym, badminton courts and 25 metre pool and toddler splash pool.

Just a little further Matlock Bath has amusements, quirky shops, Gulliver's Kingdom Theme Park and the Heights of Abraham with Cable Cars, Caverns and exhibits for those wanting a little more entertainment during their stay.

The stunning Chatsworth Estate is only 6 miles away over the picturesque Moors, with its splendid House and Gardens, sprawling estate and farm shop.

The market town of Bakewell is only 8 miles away and has a lively agricultural centre with livestock auctions most Mondays to coincide with the open market in the town square. It also has lovely little shops and a wonderful riverside walk. Chesterfield is a larger Town with big name shops and is also only 8 miles away.

There are plenty of stunning walks a short drive away with many to mention, such as Stanage Edge and Mam Tor. The Monsal Trail (path of the former Midlands Railway) is great for level walking and cycling.

Please note that our approach is quite steep so please make sure you have your pitch allocation before arrival as there is little room to turn if you arrive on the wrong level. For more information and to make a booking please visit our website.

Top Tier (pitches 1, 2 and 3) is the first level you come to and Bottom Tier (pitches 4 and 5) is a little further down. These are clearly marked.

Arrivals strictly after 1pm and departures before 12 unless by arrangement, due to restricted access and no waiting areas.

10kw electric included per day. Meter reading required on arrival and departure.
