Nature at it's best
A nice CL overlooking the nursery field. Enjoyed watching calves being born and mums tending to thier young. Easy access to the High Peaks trail and easy walking to two pubs even though closing times and days were a restriction. Enjoyed a lovely meal at the Royal Oak down the trail, who have free Wifi.
June 2014 Visit
The site is a well sized grass field with plenty of room for units to have their own privacy and enjoy the views of the surrounding countryside. The field is slightly sloping and has some depressions which show signs of collecting water when it rains. This is part of a working dairy farm and the owners were very friendly.
We didn't visit either of the pubs in walking distance but can recommend "The Bulls Head" in Monyash.
Buxton and the surrounding attractions are within easy reach by car, and the High Peak trail is within easy walking distance.
We will not hesitate in returning to the site next time we are in the area.

March Visit
This is a basic CL in a grass paddock adjacent to Moor Farm close to the village of Flagg. Access is easy, 1/2 ml along a lane off the A515, 6 mls SE of Buxton. Views are extensive over the adjacent fields and there are numerous footpaths and quiet lanes for those who like a walk. There a 2 pubs within walking distance and the High Peak Trail is close by for both cyclists and walkers. The site field is quite flat but did become a bit soggy following heavy rain.
