Best Glamping in Derbyshire and The Peak District

Glamping in the White Peak

The gentler southern half of the National Park is limestone country — Dovedale’s famous stepping stones, peaceful Lathkill Dale, and the honey-stone market town of Bakewell (home of the famous pudding). It’s ideal for easy walking, pretty villages and relaxed days out.

Glamping in the Dark Peak

To the north rise the wild gritstone moors — Kinder Scout, Mam Tor and the valley of Edale, where the Pennine Way begins. This is the Peak District at its most dramatic: big skies, serious hikes and some of the finest walking country in England, right from your door.

Caves, caverns and reservoirs

Explore the show caves and rare Blue John stone at Castleton, take the waters at the spa town of Buxton, or visit the Ladybower and Derwent reservoirs — famous as the Dambusters’ training ground. Cavers, climbers and cyclists (the Monsal and Tissington trails are a joy) are all spoilt for choice.

The Derwent Valley — Derbyshire’s UNESCO heritage

The Derwent Valley Mills at Cromford, Belper and Masson are a UNESCO World Heritage Site — the birthplace of the modern factory system — and today make a fascinating, walkable day out along the river and canal.

Chatsworth, stately homes and gardens

Derbyshire is home to some of England’s finest houses — Chatsworth with its famous gardens, the medieval Haddon Hall, and Hardwick Hall — all within easy reach of a glamping base.

Market towns and days out in Derbyshire

Explore the Victorian spa of Matlock Bath, the market towns of Ashbourne and Wirksworth, the Crich Tramway Village, and Carsington Water for sailing and cycling.

Good for families, couples and walkers

A Derbyshire and Peak District break flexes to whoever you are. Couples love the seclusion and the hot-tub-under-the-stars romance; families love the caves, cable cars and space to roam; walkers love having the trails right on the doorstep. And with plenty of dog-friendly sites, the whole family comes along.
