Fieldhead Campsite - Edale. A 45 pitch campsite with parking and ancillary buildings at Edale within the Peak District National Park. Great opportunity and a lovely location. BY TENDER ONLY
The Location
Fieldhead Campsite is situated within the village of Edale, in the Hope Valley, which is central to The Peak District National Park, as shown on the map enclosed with these particulars. Edale is the starting point of The Pennine Way, which leads walkers across the vast heather moorlands of the Northern Uplands, starting with Kinder Scout.
The site is a peaceful location despite the significant attraction of the area to large visitor numbers both to Edale and the surrounding district including villages such as Castleton (6km) and Hathersage (13km).
Edale is well served by Public Transport, which includes regular buses and trains with an Edale stop along the picturesque route (Hope Valley line) between Sheffield and Manchester.
Facilities of the village include Pubs, cafes and small post office/general store.
The site
The site, which is shown on the plan attached, is available for tents only, up to a maximum of 45 pitches. It has toilet blocks and showers for ladies, gents and the less mobile, as well as store rooms, an office and washing up room. A wardens room provides capacity for simple unfurnished overnight accommodation.
The buildings form part of the Visitor and Moorland Centre that are owned by the National Park Authority (this is a multi-user area). Advice on local attractions is on hand including suggestions for walking, biking, climbing and a wider range of outdoor activities.
The campsite has been in operation for nearly 40 years and has a good customer base that includes Ramblers, Duke of Edinburgh and School groups whilst also a popular family destination.
There is a small parking area suitable for around 20 car spaces. There is a pay and display public car park with 138 spaces approximately 300m away from the campsite.
It is expected that encouragement will be given to visitors with regards to the use of public transport.
