Berry Wood Farm

Ashbourne, Derbyshire Dales, England

Small, friendly, very simple, back-to-basics camping on an organic smallholding, with great views over Carsington Water and surrounding hills. Campfires allowed. Compost toilets. On sunny days a simple solar shower is available. Two pubs serving excellent food and real ales one mile away via public footpaths. Well-behaved dogs on lead welcome. Stereos are discouraged and certainly shouldn't ever be loud enough to interfere with anybody else's enjoyment. Seasonal organic salad, veg and eggs often available. We sell firewood for £5 a sack. You can bring your own from home if it is natural untreated wood, no paint, preservatives, glues, nails etc that will pollute your air or our soil. We are sorry but for a variety of reasons you are NOT allowed to forage for wood on or near our site. We are dedicated to managing our little piece of heaven with the natural environment and ecological sustainability very much in mind. We manage the site using organic and permaculture principles and have planted over 5000 trees in the last few years to create new woodlands and encourage wildlife and biodiversity. If you can do your bit whilst here by committing to carefully use the recycling facilities we provide and by respecting and enjoying the peace and quiet and beauty of the local natural environment, we very much look forward to welcoming you. If not, there may be other sites more suited to you. We have some more out of the way corners of our site, accessible on foot, that may suit you if your are looking for more of a ‘wild camping’ atmosphere. Please ask/specify if this is of interest to you. Adults £6 per night; children 5-12yrs £3 p.n.; under 5's free. Cars £2p.n. Dogs £2p.n. Good local walks, and close to High Peak Trail, Tissington Trail and Carsington Water off-road family-friendly cycle trails. ADVANCE BOOKING ESSENTIAL Check out our reviews! Many thanks
