Quiet and good location

This is a lovely quiet site, and being relatively small, has a very cosy feel about it. Whilst not directly in a park area, there is a bus stop outside and it is conveniently located for days out in the Derwent Valley World Heritage area and the dales. There is easy towing access provided you follow the instructions, especially if approaching from the North as otherwise the turn into Broadholme Lane is extremely tight and you'd have to reverse the caravan to get round. Much better and safer to go into Belper and approach from the south as instructed. The wardens are very friendly as befits a quiet site, and the toilet/shower facilities are excellent, although we thought the site is probably more suited to adults than families with young children. The site is in two parts, the lower end being terraced with views over the Derwent Valley. Most pitches were full service types on this part. The views from the terrace and picnic area are beautiful. It's about 20 minute walk into the village to "The Spanker Inn", which is open in the evenings, but no longer serves food. The Fishermans Rest at the Belper end of Broadholme Lane also opens at 5pm, and appeared to serve food. Again, about 20 minutes walk down, but probably longer to return - uphill after a drink!! There is a small but adequate dog walk on site. Thanks for a lovely stay, we will be back another year.
