The first light over Bakewell catches the limestone edges beyond the pitches, turning the dry-stone walls golden before the rest of the valley wakes.

This is a proper Club Site for tourers and motorhomes, tucked into the heart of the Peak District just outside the market town famous for its pudding and Monday markets. Caravan and campervan pitches make it ideal for couples touring the Dales, older travellers who want a comfortable base for walking the Monsal Trail or exploring Chatsworth, and anyone who values the reliable Club Site standard. Dogs are welcome by arrangement, so fell walkers with four-legged companions are well looked after here.

Facilities aren't specified in detail, but Club Sites typically offer what tourers expect—showers, hook-ups, waste disposal—without fuss. Campfires need checking on arrival, so don't bank on open flames. The vibe is quiet, orderly, and perfectly positioned for early starts into Lathkill Dale or evening strolls along the Wye. It's a no-drama pitch in one of England's most walked landscapes, and that's exactly what it should be.

Limestone Way

Traces 74km from Castleton in the Peak District south to Rocester in Staffordshire, following old drover's tracks and field paths through classic limestone scenery. Expect moderate terrain with several sustained climbs—particularly around Dovedale and Manifold Valley—plus numerous stiles that rule out buggies and make it challenging with very young children. Dogs welcome but keep leads handy for livestock-grazed sections. Worth doing for the dramatic white rock gorges, abandoned quarries, and sw
