    Overview

    Our Crowden Club Site enjoys a remote location at the northern end of the Peak District National Park.


    The area is a walker’s paradise and our campsite reflects this. From the campsite, walkers can indulge in a gentle stroll along footpaths or stride out on a stretch of the long-distance Pennine Way.

    There are plenty of places to visit from the campsite. Howden and Ladybower Reservoirs, south east of the campsite are where the Dam Busters was filmed. Or head north to Holmfirth, the town known as the location for the TV series Last of the Summer Wine, which looks out over the spectacular Holme Valley. The magnificent Chatsworth House and Chatsworth Farmyard and Adventure Playground near Bakewell are a great family day out. Just north of here is the famous plague village of Eyam. Eyam Moor above the village is great for walking. There’s more wide open space and romantic landscapes to enjoy at the National Trust’s Marsden Moor Estate north of Crowden campsite.


    Leave the peace and quiet behind and in an hour’s drive you can enjoy the shopping and entertainment options of Manchester, Liverpool and Sheffield.

     

    Access and SatNav Advice

    Approach is via the busy A628, with the side road entrance being on a sharp bend.


    Worth Noting

    This campsite has limited mobile phone coverage and no TV reception but satellite hire is available from reception. Some grass with electric pitches are available directly through the site. If you're backpacking along the Pennine Way, and arriving on foot carrying equipment, we will always find a way to pitch you for the night.


    Eat Local

    The Bulls Head in Tintwistle serves excellent food usign only locally sourced meats and vegetables. They also offer a 10% discount to Club members. There is a Farmers’ Market in Ashton-under-Lyne on the last Sunday of the month.
