Ashbourne
Known as the ‘Gateway to the Dales’, Ashbourne is a bustling and historic market town that perfectly blends everyday life with tourist appeal. Its long, broad main street is lined with elegant Georgian buildings housing an enticing mix of independent shops, traditional butchers, antique centres, and excellent cafés. Ashbourne is famously the home of the ancient Royal Shrovetide Football game, a chaotic, town-wide event played annually on Shrove Tuesday and Ash Wednesday, a spectacle unlike any other. The town serves as the ideal base for exploring the southern Peak District. Just a couple of miles north lies the iconic beauty of Dovedale, with its famous stepping stones and limestone ravines. The Tissington and Manifold trails, popular for walking and cycling, are also easily accessible. Beyond the outdoor pursuits, delve into local history at the Ashbourne Heritage Centre, admire the stunning stained glass in St Oswald’s Church, or simply enjoy the atmosphere in the market square. With its good transport links, friendly pubs, and genuine community feel, Ashbourne offers a warm welcome and a superb starting point for your Peak District adventures.
