Usually there is discounted rail ticket for CCC members. Depending on availability, the DA can usually hire out a train carriage for the evening to have a mingle with friends and other campers.

Right next to the back of the site is a public bridleway that can runs to Rowsley and join onto the Monsal trail taking you into Bakewell (cycle route). In the other direction the bridleway takes you to Matlock via Darley Dale.

Also in Rowsley is a car boot that usually runs on a Sunday morning at the sports field.
