  • Valley site a mile from the Peak District town of Buxton
  • Surrounded by woodland and with a gorge and viaduct at one end
  • Playground, games room, gas exchange and well-stocked shop
Travelling types, move Buxton to the top of your list. The Derbyshire spa town and gateway to the Peak District was once shortlisted as one of the top three most attractive places in the British Isles (Cork and Hastings were also acclaimed: move them to the top of your list as well). A mile from town and the closest site to Buxton is Lime Tree Holiday Park, in its own valley in a Special Landscaped Area, surrounded by farmland and with a wooded limestone gorge and old railway viaduct at one edge. (Maps, brochures and sheets of information on local attractions are at the Lime Tree reception, or ask one of the helpful staff for advice on things to see and do.) Facilities on site include an adventure playground; an indoor games room with pool table, kids’ corner and TV/DVDs; a well-stocked shop with local produce and an ice block freezing facility; gas cylinder exchange, and a microwave for heating babies’ or toddlers’ food. Among the amenities are toilets, showers, a washing-up area and a launderette with ironing facilities.

Non-electric grass tent pitch (two person)

Liked: The staff were incredibly friendly, the site was well kept and the surrounding landscapes were amazing. It is a 20 minute walk into Buxton but there is a shop on the holiday park that is open during the summer season. The highlight of the site is definitely the toilet blocks - these were incredibly clean and there was a number of toilets and showers. We really loved our stay here and will definitely be returning! We camped and the land available for the non-electric camping was great and there was lots of room for our tent. For families, there is a playground for children and there are multiple walks nearby of varying difficulty.

Non-electric grass tent pitch (six person)

Liked: When we first arrived the staff working were extremely friendly and explained everything perfectly. We were camping, so we're told we can either go on one of the terraces (flatter bits on the drive up the path) or the main camping area (rather slanted). They have recently had a new toilet and shower block built which was amazing; very clean, warm and even had music playing! If you don't like camping there are spaces for taking a campervan, there are a couple of glamping pods and also static caravans. We would definitely stay again.

Disliked: The main camping area is on quite a big slant, but finding a space on a terrace is good. Nothing else.

Local attractions

There’s quite a bit to immerse yourself in at the spa and market town of Buxton, one of the most popular destinations in the Peak District. Like Bath in the south, Buxton was founded as a spa town by Romans and became popular in Georgian times for the supposed health-giving properties of its spa water. Fill up your water bottle at St Anne's Well in front of the Crescent then go on a Buxton tour to see its Georgian architecture and smart landscapes including the award-winning ornamental gardens at the Pavilion, and the Buxton Opera House, the highest in the country. The Peak District as a whole is full of market towns stuffed with local produce and interesting attractions: go to Bakewell for the essential eponymous tart; Leek for Rudyard Lake and the steam train; Ashbourne for a couple of hundred listed buildings, and fellow spa town Matlock Bath. If you don’t mind travelling a bit further, Sheffield and Manchester can both be reached in an hour to an hour and a quarter. Also nearby is Castleton with Norman Peveril Castle and four show caves; if going underground is your thing, also check out the caves at Poole’s Cavern just outside Buxton. And there’s caving (and climbing) aplenty all around the Peak District National Park, along with stacks of outdoor pursuits like hot air ballooning, gliding, watersports and biking the Tissington and Manifold trails.
