Small quiet site
Cliff Farm
We stayed here for one night in June, to visit Matlock before heading further north. The site is accessed up a narrow lane and is quite compact for 5.
We met the owners briefly and they explained where the fresh water was.
This is just off the main site and larger units may find if difficult to access.
Another camper explained where the toilet disposal was. This consisted of a lift up manhole to a cesspit that quite honestly left me heaving. There was no running water to clean the cassette just some watering cans, which we think is poor in comparison to similar priced sites.
The main positive that we took away was the access to a lovely walk through the woods up to the tram way and war monument.
Lovely!

Tranquil site with friendly neighbours (2 Shetland ponies) . Lovely hosts and ground firm even though on grass. Definitely recommend as a peaceful place to stay for site seeing or just lazing. Thank you for having us. Jan and John Hannah
No Hook Up? No Problem!
Cliff Farm
The Thorpe’s run a lovely site and they have a warm, but not intrusive, welcome. The site is well maintained and tidy. It slopes gently and we needed to ramp one side of the ‘van to get it level; there are spots on the site that are flat. The water supply is accessible with taps at sensible heights. The toilet disposal is a bit primitive and the lid to the grate is a bit heavy. We chose the site because we never use hook-up… but (if you really must have electricity) there are a couple of pitches that have access to the mains… check before arriving! “Steady as you go” through the gate; it isn’t that narrow but the gate posts are imposing columns of millstone grit and would be less forgiving than timber.
The 4g phone signal on the 3 network was spot on and the O2 signal was good for calls and texts; data was very slow. The DAB signal was patchy.. radio 4 was OK but radio 3 was weak. I don't have a TV. I was here because I had to spend a few days in the Peak District while my wife was otherwise engaged. Being a “softy” cyclist I decided to test Derbyshire’s reputation for good cycling. Its brilliant! Tow paths have survived the derelict canals and the redundant rail network has been utilised as leisure trails. I was blessed with wonderful weather for mid-October and cycled for miles and miles without ever seeing a road.
Good value for £8, lots to do locally, beautiful scenery – nearly as beautiful as Yorkshire. The Thorpes keep a couple of the prettiest horses I have ever seen - very playful.
Forget the hook up! 100 amp battery, 20 watt PV panel, 5 days, £8 quid a night. No problem!
