Great little site, fabulous walking
Lovely location in the heart of the White Peak.
Pro’s -
- Access is easy from the main road, easy to find, well signposted
- Couldn’t be closer to the walking trails, the High Peak Trail is through a gate at the corner of hte site. The Tissington trail connects about half a mile away along this.
- One of the nicest walks I’ve done in ages starting in Hartington, less than 10 minutes away by road, or 3-4 miles walking. (Circular walk down Beresford Dale and Wolfscote Dale, up Biggin Dale and across the fields and lanes back to Hartington. Start and finish from the farm shop - takeaway coffee and homemade cakes - path past the public toilets)
- Friendly owners who visit daily and happy to chat. Helpful with local information.
Cons (all minor)
- The site is grass and a little bumpy in places. It was very wet when we stayed and at least on car/ caravan had issues getting out, although they managed it in the end with lots of damage to the grass.
- The road is nearby (see pro’s) - although a couple of fields away it is a busy road with traffic all day including lorries. Not noisy, but there in the background.
- Isolated spot. Unless you are a walker you need to take your car/ moho to get anywhere. But that’s true of a lot of CL’s and for some of us it’s why we like them.
