The Friendly Site
We have been maybe a dozen times over 35 years. A friend said "Why go ?" there is nothing there. And I am constantly guiding him towards the central Peak District and more adventurous sites. Just leave Blackshaw Moor to those who have discovered an enclave of tranquility. OK the road is a bit noisy, and the slope noticeable. But your time for relaxation starts with oatcakes for breakfast at the Roaches Tearoom, then home cooked lunch at Hulme End, with a gentle (flat) walk along the kind of valley you wish was typical of all English countryside; finishing with an evening meal at the 3 Horseshoes carvery or The Lazy Trout pub. My tip is go outside the main holiday periods, especially when the trees don't have all their leaves. And above all 'Don't suggest to others to come and try it.' Just leave it to those of us who quietly keep returning and quietly enjoy the tranquility.
And incidentally, you are likely to be greeted by some of the friendliest wardens I have met in 35 years of caravanning.
