We came home yesterday after a week at this site. Lovely site, beautifully maintained with friendly, helpful wardens and some of the best and cleanest loos and showers we have seen. We also saw where some foolish people had driven over the grass areas - and absolutely ruined them. The wardens were working so hard to repair and restore them for the weekend. It isn't necessary as the access roads are very adequate. Fantastic location overlooking Carsington Water. We hired bikes from the visitors centre and had a great morning whizzing round the lake (electric bikes!). Severn Trent water can be proud of how they have turned this area into such an attractive facility. Close to Dovedale, Matlock and Bakewell and not far from Buxton. Great walking in the area - the Tissington trail has wonderful views across the countryside. And Tissington village well worth a visit. Best fish and chips from market square in Ashbourne, but struggled to find local beers in the pubs - how strange. As said before, remember the site is amidst pine trees and on a hill and some areas are sunnier or windier than others; we were on pitch 4 which is very quiet, quite shady but does have excellent wifi access.  Woke up each morning deafened by bird song and a woodpecker drumming away like mad. Also made friends with the visiting ducks who waited outside our awning for their breakfast each morning. We had a fabulous time. Thank you to the hard working wardens and the very nice fellow caravanners we met.
