The lovely market town of Matlock is seven miles away. It offers a riverside setting, a boating lake and plenty of independent shops and eateries in historic buildings.

There are plenty more waterfalls and walks on offer within the Peak District National Park; the eastern edge of which is 12 miles away. Not far within its boundaries is Bakewell and nearby Chatsworth (15 miles from site). The house, gardens and wider estate, home of the Duke of Devonshire, are one of the Peak District’s most popular attractions. Another historic house, the Elizabethan Hardwick Hall, is also close enough for a visit (nine miles from the campsite). Crich Tramway Village (seven miles), formerly the National Tram Museum, offers a living history museum where you can see and ride heritage trams. And there’s more family fun at Matlock Farm Park a similar distance away. The Peak District and Derbyshire offer plenty of outdoor adventure including climbing, caving, walking, cycling and more. Some of the closest adventures to the campsite are at Harboro’ Rocks (13 miles) and nearby Carsington Water.

There are a few pubs within a short drive or long walk of site. The Greyhound is the closest, less than a mile up the road. Its garden makes it a good option for families with kids or dogs. Further up the same road (but still only a mile away) is The White Bear which offers lovely views over the valley. The Red Lion in Shirland is another good one to head for food, drinks and a beer garden. It’s just over a mile from site with a route on footpaths across fields from the site if you fancy the walk. The village also offers a shop for basics if you want to cook back on site. The Sitwell Arms in Morton, is a similar distance and often has live music and pizza nights. For more shops and eateries, head into Alfreton (three miles) or Matlock (seven miles).
