On Our Doorstep

The Royal Oak is situated in a prime position for walking, cycling and exploring the Peak District.

From the bottom of our campsite grounds you can hop onto the High Peak Trail where you can head towards Parsley Hay and the trail splits into the very popular High Peak and Tissington Trails.

At Parsley Hay you will discover Parsley Hay Cycle Hire. Here you can hire a range of bikes including adult bikes, children's bikes and even tandems! Groups of 10+ can pre-book in advance by calling.

A short distance from The Royal Oak is the endearing village of Monyash. From the village you can follow part of the scenic Limestone Way , through the pretty valley of Lathkill Dale. This loop is approximately 4 miles long and graded 'easy' so suitable for most.

A well-loved visitor destination in close proximity is Hartington. You can experience your very own taste of Hartington by purchasing Derbyshire-made cheese from The Old Cheese Shop or purchasing a sampler of one of the cask ales produced by Whim Ales at Hartington Village Stores. After enjoying your treats at the picturesque duck pond, you could venture out on a wander through the tranquil Biggin Dale on a beautiful riverside walk. 

For those looking for a more challenging route with steep inclines and descents, approximately 2.5 miles from The Royal Oak you can find Earl Sterndale whereby you can begin a circular walk for Chrome Hill & Parkhouse Hill. 

The Royal Oak has external bike racks, a fantastic beer garden and all muddy boots, paws and wheels are welcome!

Our Sister Pub

A mere 10 minute walk over the fields and you will reach a big black and white building upon the main road, this is The Bull I' Th' Thorn, our sister pub and campsite!

With great food, including authentic Napoleon pizza, a contemporary sports bar area showing Sky Sports and the same friendly staff and hospitality as the 'Oak', it is a definite must visit.

Also, if you're looking for an alternative campsite, the Bull I' Th' Thorn has large pitches, great location and also electric hook-up available.

Exterior of Royal Oak Hurdlow, traditional country pub

The Royal Oak is a wonderful base with the popular towns of Buxton and Bakewell both within a 15 minute drive. 

The famous spa town of Buxton has the natural wonder of Pooles' Cavern (great for mini explorers), impressive architecture such as The Crescent , Devonshire Dome and Buxton Opera House with a year-round programme of entertainment. You are never short of activities in Buxton, for the active there is GoApe! where you can swing from ropes nestled in the tree tops of Grinlow woods and the stunning Pavilion Gardens with a number of play areas, minature train and boating lake. Meander around the boutique shops within the Cavendish Arcade, great for gifts and locally made treats such as Charlotte's Chocolates. If you would rather use your time in the Peaks to relax, have an afternoon picnic in the Pavilion Gardens,  explore the Pavilion Arts Centre now with a cinema or for those wanting some 'me time' head to the  Devonshire Spa to unwind.

The historic market town Bakewell boasts of its traditional, award-winning market day which takes place every Monday. The bustling market has a diverse range of products available including local produce. There is also the agricultural market which is a fantastic insight into today's farming community and a fun day out for little ones wanting to see animals. Bakewell is also home to the well-known and worldwide loved Thornbridge Brewery, here you can book onto brewery tours or visit the Tap Room to sample one of their beers. Last but not least, a trip to Bakewell of course wouldn't be complete without sampling a traditional pudding or tart at the Bakewell Pudding Shop.
