Our last minute decision to snatch a few days away was very well rewarded at The Firs. This site is lovely, with amazing views of the Derwent valley world heritage area, and is peaceful, quiet and very well kept. Although the dog walk is small, we managed to tire our two out each day with a good long walk each morning - we can recommend Kedleston Hall (National trust) and High Peak Junction as starting points for some good walking with a range of challenge! Also can't fault the coffee and cake stops that the locality provides in abundance. And believe me, we tried quite a few during our short stay. The facilities on site are modern and very clean and tidy, and the lower level now has mostly hard standing pitches which do not show up on Google earth. The wardens are helpful and friendly - and very busy keeping the site looking lovely. Please do follow the instructions in the Sites directory as the turn off the A6 is too sharp as a left-hander but fine as a right handed turn both on arrival and departure.  Not much for families on site, we agree, with no play area, but for those with older children the site is so close to lots of natural and man-made places of interest that this probably won't matter so much. Thank you to the girls who made lavender bags for charity - our caravan has never smelled better!  All in all a great site for a quiet break with good access to the local area, where there is much more to see and do than we anticipated. Lovely atmosphere on site - thanks to the wardens I think, for their warmth and welcome.
