About Wild Camping at Barkerfields Farm
Barkerfields is a place where campers feel away from the hustle and bustle of busy life, pitching in a lush flat field. You're 20 mins in the car from elegant Chatsworth House, a couple of hours' gentle walk from Thornbridge Hall with its brewery and a few hours walk for fit types from Deep Dale Nature Reserve. Campfires are welcome and the field is totally car free (cars parked in another designated spot) with many guests choosing to leave the car at base camp and explore on foot. Many walks start from here and it's within reach (without the car) of pubs, parks, cafes and an ice cream shop. A climber's and history lover's paradise too.
This is a basic site with portable loos serviced regularly. There is a fresh cold water drinking tap and a washing up area. Please note that hot water is not available.
Two villages are within walking distance, Monyash which is a mile away and has a pub, cafe, ice cream shop and park and then Sheldon which is a mile's walk with a pub.

Great location, beautiful countryside and the friendliest lady (Cheryl) looking after the place. She even got our campfire lit (as well as supplying the wood, marshmallows and sticks for roasting them). Cleanest portaloos I have ever seen. Great experience. Closest to wild camping with benefits: washing up facilities, WC and ability to have a campfire. Great pub twenty mins walk. Highly recommend.

Very relaxed friendly campsite, staff helpful and pleasant. Bulls Head pub a short walk away serves great food. Basic, but exactly what you need.

Meet Derbyshire's furry friends at the Peak Wildlife Park where you can hobnob with exotic creatures, or browse the lovely parkland at the National Trust's Lyme Park and look out for deer grazing.
Lots for activity fans here with a climbing wall at a centre within a modest drive and the option to test yourself on outdoor walls at Hathersage.
Give the bike a spin the Monsal Trail, known for being totally car free, take a local picnic in attractive Monyash or eat one of the famous Bakewell tarts at Bakewell.
