Welcome to Camphill
People have been learning to fly gliders at Camphill since the club opened in 1935.
The Derbyshire & Lancashire Gliding Club was launched at Camphill Farm, on the edge of an escarpment above the village of Bradwell, in the heart of the Peak District National Park.
The site has been the home of the gliding club for nearly 90 years and has established itself as one of the UK’s premier gliding clubs.
