Situated on the edge of the Peak District National Park, the land on which New House Farm stands has a rich and exciting history. People have worked this land from prehistoric times, leaving many traces visible on the farm. This sense of history gives the farm a remarkable atmosphere that is almost timeless.
We are a working organic family farm offering a ‘back to basics camping experience. Our limited facilities are offset by the panoramic views of the Peak District and stunning sunsets to the west.
Basic camping at New House Farm means cold water, compost loos, no showers, and meeting the very free-range animals and poultry. No electricity hook-up Enjoy the sounds of the countryside without your hair dryer or DAB radio.
Fire pits are provided free of charge, and wood is available to purchase. There is also a farm shop selling farm produce.
We charge per person per night. £12 for adults, £4 for children. (No charge for children under 3 years old.)
Well behaved dogs are allowed by arrangement, but must be kept on a lead at all times.
Our organic produce includes beef and lamb, plus pork products from a local farm. We can also supply salad in season from the farm. Our very free-range chickens roost in the sycamore tree in the garden and lay fabulous eggs - we also sell our duck and goose eggs in season.
Conservation is important. We have wildflower meadows, ancient pasture land with ridge and furrow, newly planted woodland and hedgerows, a new pond, willow beds.
We have also put together an archaeology trail with an accompanying guide book that you can use on your visit to explore the land in more detail and `read the landscape` to discover over 4000 years of human activity.
