Hi all
Its a couple of years since we have been to the Peak District so we thought we would spend a week or so here again poss in early August this year.

During our previous visit we stayed at Losehill in Castleton and enjoyed it so much we plan to spend some of our next visit there before moving on to somewhere new.

What i am after is advice on sites within easy walking distance to a village with similar facilities to Castleton.

Site wise clean and friendly with EHU , showers would be a bonus, as there will only be me and the wife no other facilities are really needed.

Thanks in advance.

Jim

Thanks in advance

Carsington Water is a very pretty area with several campsites to choose from, there are shops in various directions from the sites, either in Hulland village, Hogniston, Wirksworth, or Ashbourne, all well worth a visit, with the tourist attractions of Matlock Bath within easy reach via either public transport, or walking/cycling the High peak trail.

The nearest CC site is Blackwell Plantation, which is fairly central to all the villages and small towns, whilst the nearest C&CC site is the Ashbourne site.

Upper Hurst Farm is only about a 20 minute walk from Hartington which is a very pretty village with a local shop and a couple of pubs. Hartington is not as big or busy as Castleton but well worth a visit.

Upper Hurst Farm is an excellent site that has only been open a couple of years so the facilities are immaculate.
