Learn more about hotels in Ashbourne

Ashbourne, boasting a history that dates back to the medieval period, has grown from being a rest stop for pilgrims on St Non's Way to a thriving Derbyshire town with an increasing population of over 9,000 residents. As a gateway to the Peak District and a hub of local tourism, Ashbourne's economy has been strengthened by its charming array of independent shops, cultural heritage and events such as the annual Shrovetide football match.

The town's historic market charter only adds to its appeal, providing a delightful backdrop of architectural gems like the Green Man & Black's Head Royal Hotel, which has been restored to its former glory after changing hands. Ashbourne's allure is further enhanced by its beautiful natural surroundings, including the enchanting Henmore Brook, a tributary of the River Dove, winding its way through the town centre.

When to visit Ashbourne

While Ashbourne can be explored all year round, each season has unique draws and delights for its visitors to experience. A winter visit allows for crisp, invigorating walks in the nearby National Trust's Ilam Park, while April's Bakewell Food Festival is an excellent opportunity to savour delicious local fare and drink. Late July sees both the best weather and a peak in tourism activities but it's the blooming heathers in August that truly make for stunning photo opportunities.

To round off the year, the bustling calendar of events like September's family-friendly Chatsworth Country Fair caters to a diverse range of tastes and interests. So, whether you visit in the heart of summer or the depths of winter, Ashbourne has something awe-inspiring to offer throughout the seasons.
