The morning mist rolls off the pastures here, pooling in the low corners of the farmyard before the sun burns it away over Ashbourne's limestone valleys.

This is a working farm that's opened up its guest house and a camping pod for visitors who want the Derbyshire Dales on their doorstep without camping canvas. It suits couples after a proper bed and walkers who fancy something more sheltered than a tent — the pod works well for that middle ground between wild camping and a full room. Ashbourne's just down the road, all market-town cafés and the start of the Tissington Trail if you're cycling, and you're well placed for the southern Peak District without the Bakewell crowds.

Facilities aren't listed in detail, so worth ringing ahead to check what's included with your pitch or room. Dogs are a maybe — ask when you book. Campfires depend on conditions and where you're staying, so clarify on arrival. It's open all year, which means autumn and winter breaks are on the table if you like the Peaks when they're quiet and moody.

Peak District Boundary Walk Stage 15

Follows undulating moorland and valley edges with moderate climbs, connecting ancient packhorse routes and gritstone escarpments. Not suitable for buggies or very young children due to rough terrain, stiles, and distance. Dogs welcome but keep on leads near livestock. Rewards with sweeping Peak District views, historic trails, and that satisfying sense of tackling a proper long-distance walking stage.
