Beltonville Camp Site

Buxton, Derbyshire Dales, England

Back to basics Peak District site with a view over Millers Dale A mile to the Monsal Trail; 15 minutes' drive to Buxton and Bakewell Farm shop for fresh produce; firepits available to hire Bunk up in a barn at Beltonville Farm for a brill time in the White Peak part of the Peak District – this site’s just a mile from the Monsal Trail and therefore splendidly placed for a strolling, cycling or horse-riding holiday in Derbyshire. When you’re not tottering along this disused railway line transformed into a pretty path, soak up the views over Miller’s Dale; the park is in an elevated position looking out across this Site of Special Scientific Interest’s rock-studded landscape. Survey the vistas while watching the cows come in for milking in the evenings (as a working dairy farm, Beltonville has a herd of pure-breed Ayrshire cattle), later moving over to keep warm beside the crackle of one of the rented firepits. Chillout sessions are of course boosted by having nosh to chomp on, so drop by the farm shop on site before dusk to pick up bits and bobs ranging from raw milk to local veg. Rather a meander followed by a meal out? Map your way to one of several local pubs within a three-mile radius instead for supper. This is a back to basics site but it's well maintained and stretches to such luxuries as toilets and a shower for guests’ use, as well as a washing-up area and facilities for people with disabilities. Wood can be purchased at the park for the firepit.
