Upper Booth Farm Campsite

Highlight • Rest Area

Perfect little-hidden campsite. Quiet with a little shower and toilet block. No electricity or Wifi and limited phone signal, it's a perfect escape from the modern world. With plenty of pubs and cafes in walking/cycling distance for dinner before bed and breakfast the next morning.

Edale Village

Highlight • Parking

Edale is a beautiful village set at the base of Kinder Scout. It’s a great start point for walks in the local area, including the classic Mam Tor and the Great Ridge. There’s a large pay and display car park, which has toilets and a cafe, a couple of good pubs and a small shop in the village centre.

Newfold Farm Café

Highlight • Cafe

The brilliant little cafe in Edale at the start of the Pennine Way. They do excellent coffee and generous breakfasts at decent prices. There can be a bit of a wait for food so not the place to go if you are in a hurry, however, I would argue that the wait was well worth it. They even offer gluten-free and vegan options and are happy to adjust bits on the menu for picky eaters. Dogs are welcome as are muddy hikers and bikers. There's plenty of space to lock up bikes in view of the indoor and outdoor seating. There is also a chippy that is open some evenings and a busy camping and caravaning site in addition to a small camping supplies and groceries store.

Upper Booth Farm

Highlight • Settlement

Upper Booth Farm is owned and managed by the National Trust. There is a seasonal campsite and camping barn open from 24th March to 28th October each year.
The Pennine Way National Trail passes through the farmyard. Please be careful to leave gates as you find them and keep dogs under control as there is very likely to be animals wondering freely.
