Places to see in ( Ashbourne - UK )
Ashbourne is a market town in the Derbyshire Dales, England. Ashbourne contains many historical buildings and many independent shops and is famous for its historic annual Shrovetide football match.Due to its proximity to the southern edge of the Peak District and being the closest town to the popular area of Dovedale, the town is known as both the 'Gateway to Dovedale' and the 'Gateway to the Peak District'.
The cobbled market place hosts a traditional outdoor market every Thursday and Saturday throughout the year, complementing the wide range of individual shops in the town. Although its market heritage is important, it came under threat of closure from Derbyshire County Council in November 2012. The people of Ashbourne have opposed any such moves by the council and started an online petition. Ashbourne became the 97th Fairtrade Town in March 2005 after many businesses, cafes, shops and community organisations started supporting Fairtrade.
Ashbourne has a large number of public houses for such a small town centre: there are currently 10 pubs trading, as well as 2 social clubs. However, the town's most famous establishment, the Green Man & Black's Head Royal Hotel, closed in 2012 and underwent a change of ownership in 2013. Part of it is being redeveloped into retail units and a bistro, and some of the hotel bedrooms are being restored but, as of February 2014, plans are also afoot to restore a pub function to the complex. The famous and rare 'gallows' sign across St John's Street does, however, remains a focal meeting point in the town. Local historians have noted that almost 1 in 4 buildings in the town have at one time or another been an alehouse, pub or inn or were redeveloped on the site of such an establishment.
The Tissington Trail, a popular recreational walk and cycle path, starts at Mappleton Lane on the northern outskirts of town, accessed by a large Victorian tunnel about 380 yards long running from the former railway station site in the town, and follows the course of the former Ashbourne to Buxton railway, running from what was Ashbourne railway station through the village of Tissington and joining the High Peak Trail (the old Cromford and High Peak Railway) at Parsley Hay.
The Limestone Way does not enter the town but passes around it some 2 to 3 miles away, going through Tissington, Thorpe, Marten Hill and above Mayfield on its way to Rocester. Although there is no formal link to the Limestone Way from Ashbourne, there are a number of routes that walkers from the town could use to join up with the way.

???????????????????????????? Ashbourne 40 mile mountain bike Adventure 003
Two nights at the Ashborne CCC Site with a long bike ride around the Peak District.
Site Review:
As you would expect from a CCC site everything is clean, well maintained and functional. The staff are friendly. The location is 2.5 miles from Ashbourne and is just off a main road so easy to access. We didn't notice any road noise. The site has a peaceful and tranquil feel to it, pitches are located across 3 fields. There isn't a great deal to do directly from the site so you'll need transport or bikes. Carsington Water is 3 miles away. There is a pub about 1 mile away in Hulland but we didn't try it out as we didn't fancy the walk along the main road.
Things to Do:
Cycle Tissington Trail
Cycle High Peak Trail
Cycle Manifold Trail
Visit Ashbourne Town
Cheese Factory at Hartington
Climb up to Thor's Cave (10-15 mins from the valley bottom)
Cycle around Carsington Water
Walk through Dove Dale and across the famous stepping stones
Here is a link to our 40 mile bike ride from the site. Warning, the first 2.5 miles is on a main road, not suitable for kids.
UK The Monsal Trail
The Monsal Trail is an easy walk in the Peak District on a disused rail way, converted to a walking and a bike trail. You can hire bikes and there are a few shops to get snacks and coffee at either end of the trail.

Tissington Trail: Ashbourne to Parsley hay
I decided to record my cycle ride on the Tissington trail from Ashbourne to Parsley Hay.
It had been snowing earlier that day which can be seen getting thicker the further north i cycled. I would advise anyone who is going for a cycle ride in this type of weather to take a pair of gloves with them due to my hands turning blue and numb from the cold.
