Campsites in Ashbourne, Derbyshire

66 bookable campsites within 15 miles of Ashbourne Sorted by distance

Regretfully, our football days are now mostly limited to watching matches in the pub rather than wheezing wobbily-legged around a pitch in all weathers. But there’s a definite exception to be made for Ashbourne, Derbyshire, which has held a two-day scrum of a football match every Shrove Tuesday and Ash Wednesday since medieval times. ‘Unnecessary violence is frowned upon,’ runs one of the few rules for the Ashbourne Shrove-Tide match, which places it a step up from our hazy memories of childhood football.

If you’re visiting Ashbourne at another time of year, or limit your football these days to watching it on a screen indoors, the town is also known for its pubs: around one in every four buildings here is or was at one time a brewery or inn. Cheers!

More wholesomely, there’s an endless amount of things to do in and around Ashbourne if you want to stay outdoors/not risk your neck in a football game: book an Ashbourne campsite or holiday park to hike or bike the Tissington Trail starting from the north of the town, use it as a gateway to Dovedale and the Peak District, or hit the street theatre and events of the annual Ashbourne Festival.
