While we were at Buxton Caravan and Motorhome Club site, we had a little walk directly from the site

  • Buxton Caravan and Motorhome Club site is surrounded by the Peak District National Park and there are many walks direct from the site, to Solomons Temple, Poole's Cavern, Buxton and more. Turn left just outside the site gates and you are in Grin Low and Buxton Country Park car park, which leads to walks to Solomons Temple, Poole's Cavern, and Buxton, or many circular walks around the country park.
    As you will see in this video, I have included a 'slide show' at the end, and within this, there are pictures of the signage that states dogs should be kept on a lead due to 'farm animals' grazing in the area.
    I found the location of the site excellent, giving access to plenty of places to walk direct from the site without having to go onto any busy roads or buses. I found the location very relaxing and peaceful. Plus, there were plenty of benches within the Country Park, to just sit and enjoy the natural beauty of the surroundings.
    I found the site, clean, tidy and the wardens were very friendly. On the day I left I had an issue with my electric tripping and it not only tripped the bollard, it also tripped the motorhomes circuit box. I panicked and tried to reset it but it would not work. I was going straight to Chatsworth CMC from Buxton and had two other sites to go to after that, so I really needed help to sort this issue. I phoned the reception and they sent a very happy, pleasant warden, who eventually found the fault - apparently it was my kettle - that I had used that morning - it had suddenly acquired a fault that was tripping the electric. He unplugged the kettle and everything was fine. Fortunately I did have my 'spare' gas hob kettle in the cupboard so from then on, I was using that.
    The other issue I had was that I was leaving Buxton CMC and heading to Chatsworth CMC which, was only 33 minutes away (according to google maps). So... if I had to leave Buxton CMC by 12 noon, and I could not arrive at Chatsworth CMC until 1pm then I had around half an hour that I had to 'waste' somewhere. The warden did say I could 'take my time leaving' but that I might meet incoming traffic on the approach road if it got to near 1pm. So, I left the pitch at 12 noon and took my time emptying the waste water tank at the motorhome service point. Then I took my time (as best I could) on the journey and I called at Aldi in Bakewell on the way for a few bits of shopping.
    Overall, I think Buxton CMC site is excellent for walking, dog walking or just dawdling around a peaceful Country park. I am not sure how busy it would get in the school summer holidays but we went 2nd September to 9th September (2024) and it was relatively quiet.
