About Poplars Farm Site
This is the perfect relaxing break, just for adults, and set near Ashbourne, only ten minutes from Carsington Water. Access is easy thanks to the nearby A517. There are both grass and hardstanding pitches with electric, offering space for a maximum of five tourers and six tents. Please note that electricity is metered and is payable in addition to the pitch fee. If you fancy going totally hassle-free, choose from three tempting glamping pods. The pods offer cosy shelter with a fridge, kettle, microwave, toaster, utensils and TV. When you fancy rustling up a treat, use the BBQ outside or roast some treats over the fire pit or you may prefer to bring a camping stove to cook up something tasty outside in the gorgeous countryside. Each pod has a private shower and WC room in the nearby amenities block. Two of the three pods are dog friendly. Awnings are not permitted from October to April, and please use green chemicals.
Camping is from April until September. Touring and glamping pods are available all year round.
Facilities for campers and tourers include two toilets and a roomy shower, along with a washing up sink. Each pod has a private shower/WC room in the second amenities block. Free Wi-Fi is available and there are bus stops close by the site.
In the village just a ten minute walk away, you'll find the Black Horse Inn, an excellent pub serving food. There is also a farm shop in the village selling lovely local produce.

A wonderful small setup for a lovely, quiet getaway. Super friendly hosts who couldn't do enough, felt very welcome in an instant. The grounds are well organised with all required facilities, which are well laid out. Amazing 360° views and 7-10 mins to local pubs. The Black Horse Inn does amazing food. We will definitely return.

Just on our way home from a lovely 2 night stay here. The pod was so comfy, cosy and toasty warm. We enjoyed roasting marshmallows on the fire pit, surrounded by the quiet amazing field views! Everything was clean and it had everything you need. The owners were lovely and helped direct us on our long walk to Carsington Water, which was lovely. We also had the best bangers and mash ever from a pub down the road called The Black Horse. Would definitely come again, thank you 😊

We were greeted on arrival with a friendly smile and full information on everything we needed to know, plus guidance on local walking routes away from main roads etc. The site itself is beautifully quiet and the plots are well spaced. The outlook from our plot was facing west across a beautiful wild flower meadow and blessed with great weather. It was our pleasure to watch the sun set on the horizon. The facilities are great: clean and fully functional; excellent shower and plenty of hot water. Facilities for recycling, waste disposal etc were great. The site welcomes dogs but not children which we were delighted with (being past the child-focused age!). The site is well located for visiting Ashbourne, Derby and the Peak District generally; there are three excellent foody pubs (Black Horse, the Tiger, the Nag's Head) all within very easy reach and all serving great food at reasonable prices.

Things to do on site and in the Ashbourne area
You can start lovely walks from near site and there are tasty local pubs where you can reward yourself for the day's outing.
Just a couple of miles away is Carsington Water, fed by the River Derwent, the perfect place to try your hand at kayaking, sailing, fishing and more. Its tranquil surroundings are the perfect place for a relaxing bike ride too.
If you're a keen cyclist, take things a little further by hiring a bike nearby and hopping onto the Tissington Trail.
Or if you'd rather not get there under your own steam, an excellent bus network will take you to Ashbourne, Belper and the historic city of Derby every day except Sunday. By changing bus you can easily get to other places of interest, too.
Many of the prettiest towns and villages of the Peaks are within 10 miles, such as Matlock and Matlock Bath, both great for days out in gorgeous Derbyshire surroundings.
Other great attractions in reach include:
- Crich Tramway Museum
- Kedleston Hall
- Cromford Canal
- Strutt's North Mill in Belper
- Chatsworth House
- Monsal Dale and Trail
- Elvaston Castle
- Alton Towers
- Bakewell
- Dovedale
