Spectacular Setting

As you approach the site coming down the hill you can see rock faces of the old quarry that form the backdrop for this site. This is another site with all hardstanding pitches except for a small handful of tent pitches on grass. The site has recently been refurbished and has a super toilet block which should be large enough to cope when the site is full. Excellent motorhome waste point with an open grill and plenty of space in which to manoeuvre. The geographic nature of the site has an adverse impact on both TV and phone signals. However the electric bollards have a cable TV connection and many of the pitches should be OK for satellite reception. Unfortunately phone reception is far more limited and not very good if you want to use your own data which then means buying access to the Club's WiFi which is very expensive for short term use. There is a little bench seat near reception where you can generally get a better signal! If you don't want to use your own transport this site is quite remote with no bus services nearby. However the site have negotiated a good deal with a local taxi company for a fixed price fare which seemed reasonable to us. The site will give you details of how to walk into Buxton via Poole's Cavern and Pavilion Gardens but you have the be able to deal with steep inclines and declines so think carefully about it. Buxton is a famous Spa town and parts of the original centre, The Crescent, are currently being restored. For shopping there is a handy Waitrose in the Springs Shopping Centre. For car users all sorts of outings into the Peak District are available from this site.
