Super friendly campsite near a proper "pubby" pub

Very warm welcome from Richard on a Friday evening who pointed out the way to join the Middleton Top Trail just 5 minutes away and also a safe footpath to Middleton with its two pubs. We opted for a grass pitch. The site isn't even everywhere but just one block did the trick. The hard standing pitches looked fairly even, We opted for no electric hook up. If you want a cooked breakfast or afternoon tea they are available and looked fantastic. Richard also sells free range eggs from his own hens which were superb. The site had a small rally that weekend so there was the usual noise associated with when people get together but everyone settled down very early. On the Saturday we walked across 2 fields to the trail and headed left towards Harboro Rocks. This in aneasy "Ethel" for those walkers in the know. It's an easy walk from the trail to the trig point at the top of the rocks. The views over Carsington Water towards Derby and Nottingham were beautiful. There are lots of routes from the campsite for both walking and cycling. Friday night we had a quick visit to The Rising Sun which was OK. However, on Saturday we walked a little further to The Nelson Arms. It was well worth it. A super friendly pub with very reasonable prices. Ultra dog friendly too. Immediately got chatting to the locals who were very welcoming. Heading North on the A6 satnav took us off to the left after crossing the bridge at Whatstandwell. A narrow road with some hairy moments. A better alternative is to go to Cromford on the A6 and turn left. Go up the hill and turn right towards Middleton and follow your nose to the campsite. This way has lovely wide A and B roads and you will arrive stress free. I highly recommend this campsite.
