Wonderful overnight stay

Found this on the CCC CL booking app and sent a message. Pauline called me back within 30 minutes, explaining how to find the site and recommending the best place to park for the views and for the best drainage. (It’s February and very wet) She gave us excellent tips on walks and places to eat and drink. At the site there’s water if you need it and a CDP. We had a great walk in the local area and visited the pub in Little Hucklow. This was a last minute night away decision but we will definitely visit again. Perfect place to relax! Nice to meet you Pauline, and thank you.

Perfect!

What a wonderful location! We had three nights here in July this year and it was absolutely perfect. The facilities are sparse but this is just what we wanted. A beautiful well maintained site set in stunning countryside. this is what caravanning is all about! A very relaxing stay albeit too short. We will be back!

Loved our stay

If you want mod cons pass this site by, if you want simple off grid, peace, open spaces, views and a good location for exploring the area then it’s perfect. We’ve enjoyed a fabulous weekend stop over here and must add the owner was so friendly and helpful.

In the Middle of Everywhere

This is our second stay at this site. We enjoy the ease with which you can access various cycle tracks and hikes and the loveliness of the huge site with plenty of choice as to where to park. We watched the curlews foraging in the adjoining field and listened to their haunting calls. Not having a hook-up isn't a problem as we have a large solar panel and in the days are long in the summer! It is such a green and beautiful site with a choice of shaded or sunshine spots. The only slight blip was having to hang on to our rubbish as you have to make special arrangements for it to be disposed and only if you are staying for more than 3 nights (we weren't). It was very hot so the challenge was to prevent everything from smelling, but we did and managed to find a bin at a services where we could dispose of our rubbish.

Beautiful off grid site

We think this is the perfect CL, no electric or other fancy facilities, just plenty of space and wonderful views. The site is well maintained with easy access and a great location for touring the peaks. Newcomers to the site would benefit from strolling around the site before choosing a pitch, there are plenty of level pitches if you just look! Good dog walking directly from site , just check for sheep! Owner very welcoming and helpful. We stayed for a week in May and look forward to returning. Thank you Pauline!

Stunning views in the Peaks

Booked fairly last minute and we were exceptionally pleased with our choice. A large site, with a mixture of grass and woodland, free to pitch anywhere. Site is quite uneven and slopes in places but easy to find a suitable level pitch away from other vans. Owner arrived promptly and gave a very warm welcome and lots of useful ideas. Local pubs are very good- Anchor Inn for pub grub and the Blind Bull if you have deeper pockets! Lots of good walks from the site- and the wonderful listed Tideswell Rake lead mine runs alongside the site. A great basic CL, with plenty of extra information on a notice board by the water point - the Elsan point is at the top of the field and very easy to use, being raised off the ground. We had a superbly relaxing time and will be back soon- and can see why it is so popular, with people coming back time and time again.

Get yer walking boots and cycle clips on

This is one cracking sit so long as your very self sufficient off grid and wanting beautiful views, miles and miles of walking to be done from site. We walked to Castletown from site along the Limestone way and down through Cavedale. Around trip of just over 11 miles, wonderful views along the way to marvel at. We also cycled down to and along the Monsal Trail, built do plan yer trip as not so many places to get onto the trail as would be if your walking. Although hard work at times, Getting on to trail from The Anglers Rest of which we needed once we got up the very steep and rocky path. We had another great 20 mile cycle ride out. Only got 2 punchers en route so come prepared. Now to the site. Fresh water tap onsite, CDP at top of field. I his time of year “May” there are Lesser Spotted Orchids in the Old Lead Mining diggings along site the site and part of the farm. Owners very friendly and helpful. We are still on site after thinking we would only be a few days and almost 2 weeks later still hear. And for £10 PN i think is well worth it. You may need levelling chocks but to be honest there’s plenty of level’ish spots if you look for them. Either out in the open Along side the wall or under the trees the views all around are fantastic. Access can be a little tight off the road but you soon get use to it. Where a 7.5 meter motorhome no problem at all. To sum up yes when in the area again we will be back.

A perfect off grid spot!

This is a fab off grid CL! Under the trees or out in the open; the choice is yours. Yes it's a bit lumpy in places but it was easy to find flat spots and plenty of space to ensure privacy. There were three other vans on site when we were there this time, but it felt like we were on our own. The Tideswell Rake (the site of a medievil lead mine) runs through the site and makes for very interesting topography. We used the site as a starting point for a 9ish mile circular walk and there are plenty available. TA great place to explore the peaks away from the hotspots; uncrowded, peaceful and perfect. Buxton isn't far if that's your thing and the Anchor pub, a mile stroll down the road was friendly and welcoming. We recieved an informative friendly email after we'd booked and the owners daughter checked in with us after our arrival, with lots more local info. We've only ever stayed in autumn but will definitely visit in the Spring for a different perspective.

Very scenic and peaceful

This off-grid site is lovely and allows you to choose from a variety of 'pitches' either in the open or under trees. We pitched up and were soon enjoying the peace and quiet which was only interrupted by the pair of nesting sparrow hawks as they looked after their young. Ajoining the site are some leads mines and these are great from both a historical point of view, and because of the wild-life (especially insects) that now have colonised the area - a lovely area for macro photographers at the right time of year. We had some lovely walks directly from the site around the quiet lanes and along the footpaths, which are numerous. The one downside is that the grass was a tad too long, and we got wet feet early in the mornings, as well as dragged grass into the van. Other than that, this is a lovely site, and the owners were very welcoming - we will return very soon.
