The wardens use their experience to provide a good standard site which, overall, is a credit to the CMC. There is a range of pitches which should suit all members; the large pitches were set aside for the larger units and the best views seem to go with the serviced pitches. The site was full and we suffered from short queues in the facilities block [mainly female showers] which was like going back to the 90s. There is road noise but it is not excessive and should not spoil your stay. You can walk down to Belper although about two thirds of the walk has no pavement. The walk back is uphill although only one short stretch is steep. You can get a taxi or a local bus but some members said the bus service was unreliable. If you are interested in industrial heritage, the town is worth a visit including Strutts Mill. Of course, the whole of the valley is full of our industrial heritage. Nether Heage is about a mile away and has a working windmill grinding flour. The walk involves a steep descent and ascent. I'd expect children to get bored quite quickly.
