The crunch of gravel beneath your feet and the distant call of wood pigeons welcome you to this peaceful Derbyshire site, where rolling countryside views stretch across the Central region's characteristic patchwork of fields and dry-stone walls. Morning mist often lingers in the valleys here, burning off to reveal the kind of unspoilt rural scenery that makes this corner of England feel delightfully timeless.

Gateham Grange Camping suits traditional campers, caravanners, and motorhomers seeking a straightforward, back-to-basics stay within easy reach of the Peak District's southern landscapes. Whether you're exploring Derbyshire's market towns or using this as a quiet staging post for walking routes, the site offers a genuine escape from urban clutter.

Facilities are kept simple with toilets and showers provided for guests. Tent pitches sit alongside spaces for campervans and caravans, creating a friendly mix of camping styles. Campfire policies should be confirmed when you arrive, so if you're hoping for evening flames, check first. The overall atmosphere is one of rural tranquillity—no frills, no fuss, just proper countryside camping in the heart of England.

Royal Shrovetide Challenge Walk (down'ards)

Follows Ashbourne's historic Shrovetide football game route through town streets and along the Henmore Brook valley. Mostly flat with gentle inclines, suitable for older children but not buggies due to uneven surfaces and narrow pathways. Dogs welcome on leads through town sections. A unique way to trace the chaotic path of one of England's oldest and most extraordinary sporting traditions, blending local history with pleasant riverside walking.

Royal Shrovetide Challenge Walk (up'ards)

Follows the historic Up'ards territory of Ashbourne's famous Shrovetide football match through rolling Derbyshire countryside. Expect moderate inclines with some steeper sections along field paths and quiet lanes. Generally suitable for older children used to longer walks, but uneven terrain makes buggies impractical. Dogs welcome on leads near livestock. Offers a unique angle on local heritage, linking pubs and landmarks central to this centuries-old tradition, with good views across the Henmor

Walk Round Thorpe Cloud, Dovedale

National Trust logoNational Trust

Climbs steeply up Thorpe Cloud's iconic limestone cone (287m) for breathtaking views across Dovedale and the Dove Valley – expect a proper lung-burner on the ascent. The short but challenging route isn't suitable for buggies or very young children due to uneven, rocky terrain and the sharp gradient. Dogs welcome but keep them close on the summit where sheep graze. Worth it for panoramic Peak District vistas from this classic viewpoint.
