Beautiful views at a bargain price.

Four night stay over the early May Bank holiday. This is our second visit to Coney Grey Farm CL and we were the only ones on site, which was surprising as it's only £16 per night inc EHU. (May 2023). It's a beef farm so expect the odd tractor and mooing. Beautiful views from the pitches with easy access from the road and up the farm track. Two EHU posts, water and waste by the entrance. Grey waste tip into the fence as you won't be able to lift it into the Black waste toilet disposal. This is what a proper CL is all about. Basic and cheap. Too many CLs are trying to be too fancy and are becoming very expensive. Field is slightly sloping and can be wet when it's been raining. Blocks are recommended but we only needed one ramp on one side of the van to level it. Footpath for dog walking through the fields is by the entrance. We noticed this time that the road noise from the A38, about half a mile away was constant and rather annoying and what sounded like a large fan in one of the cow barns started very early. But this is the only downside. Short drive to Cromford and the High Peak Trail and also Crich Tramway, 2 for 1 for CAMC members. Thoroughly recommend the walk from High Peak Junction to Black Rocks although it's a 1 in 8 uphill walk. There is a car park at Black Rocks. Carry further along the trail to Middleton Top for spectacular views. Be aware the Derbyshire County Council has increased the parking charges on all their carparks so look out for roadside parking near to your destination. Most are cash only machines. £2.50, £4.50 & £7.00.
