Beautiful. well laid out site but quite a hike into Buxton
As described, the site is set in an old quarry which provides small areas for pitches with lots of vegetation hiding many of the units and giving it all a very attractive appearance. The section we were in had hedges separating pitches giving even more privacy. The site is described as being within walking distance of "the pretty town of Buxton" and whilst true that fails to mention that it is a physically challenging walk through steep, rough woodland paths and not suitable for people with limited mobility. After a steep climb out of the quarry the remainder of the walk is downhill and includes stiles and steps. There is no lighting so this would be an unwise walk in the dark and as it is mainly earth and rock underfoot would be very slippery in the wet.
Whichever way you travel into Buxton it is well worth checking through the tourist information as there is lots to see there, including the refurbished 'Crescent' opposite the TI Pump House. If you are planning a BBQ whilst at the site then I recommend a visit to Geoff Mycock butchers opposite the market. Don't take my word for it - they come highly recommended on the internet as well. Tell them you want the meat for a BBQ (for 2 in out case) and they will select and cut exactly what you want.
This was our first visit to the Buxton site and we will certainly be returning.
