Lovely site in a very unspoilt yesteryear village. If you stay here, just make sure there is still space for us!
This is a really unpoilt little site which we would love to keep to ourselves, but it is also too special not to share.
Tissington site is a typical CL with EHU, Water and Waste Disposal point, no other site facilities, so own onboard facilities essential. Fairly level site, with two hard standings and the remainder being grass, with lovely views across the Derbyshire hillside. There is usually a field of grazing cows in the adjacent field.
The site is situated 5 minutes walk from the Tissington Trail which offers terrific walks and cycling.
The village itself is dominated by Tissington Hall which overlooks the village church. Next to the hall is Herberts teashop which is very popular with cyclists and other visitors alike, servimg delcious pots of real leaf tea and a variety of snacks, meals and cakes (including gluten free options) Seating is both available inside and outside overlooking the church.
Next to the village pond situated in the old kitchen garden is the nursery which grows many thousands of plants each year including more unusual and difficult to find varieties.
The craft shop is always interesting for a wander
On a wick and a prayer is the scented candle designers and manufacturers which smells wonderful as you wander round. They do not sell matches however. Ideal for that insect repelling candle or early christmas presant purchasing
There is an old world sweetshop and ice cream parlour. (again, gluten free options available) A butcher selling a variety of quality local meats which is idea for that impromptu BBQ.
The nearest pub is The Blue Bell Inn 0.9 miles away on the A515.
The owners are really welcoming and are themselves caravaners and therefore the site has been thought out in a very practical, usable way.
This site is one of our favourite spots and we visit many times during each season. Maybe see you there.
