The picturesque market town of Ashbourne in Derbyshire is a delight to visit at any time of the year. Explore the quirky alleyways and streets that are lined with independent shops, fine eateries and impressive listed buildings. Be wowed by the distinctive Tudor and Georgian architecture, bag a bargain on market day or immerse yourself in the history of this pretty town. Don’t miss the historic almshouses and St Oswald’s Church with its striking 212 foot spire on Church Street, or head to the National Trust’s stone built medieval hall at the Old Manor.

Sitting on the southern edge of the Peak District National Park, Ashbourne is also a haven for outdoor enthusiasts. Keen walkers and cyclists can explore the stunning countryside along the 13 miles of disused railway on the Tissington Trail which runs from Ashbourne to Parsley Hay. Or head a few miles north to the spectacular limestone valley of Dovedale which is perfect for picnics, bird spotting and the infamous stepping stones across the River Dove. Follow the river further up the valley to explore the limestone formations at Lover’s Leap and Ilam Rock or the caves at Dove Holes. Alternatively join a section of the Limestone Way, a 46 mile trail which runs from Rocester to Castleton, passing through stunning countryside and pretty villages.

You might be in central England, but just fifteen minutes away, water sports enthusiasts can also enjoy an action packed day of sailing, windsurfing or canoeing at Carsington Waters near the village of Carsington. With boat and bike hire also available, as well as a well-stocked fishery and wildlife centre, there is plenty for the whole family to enjoy here.

The central location of Ashbourne makes it perfect for a last-minute weekend break as well as a longer holiday.
