Ashbourne Heights Holiday Park

View prices & book Last booked 9 hours ago 8.7 455 reviews

Family park three miles from the Peak District town of Ashbourne
Seven and a half miles from Alton Towers
Indoor pool, licensed shop and picnic area

If you had to pick a Peak District place, you'd be displaying tiptop taste if you went for Ashbourne. For there are many whys: it’s at the southern tip of the Peak District and a gateway to the same; it leads straight on to the Tissington Trail, and it’s sevenish miles from the heady heights of Alton Towers. More? It's also been the site of a raucous game of football every Shrove Tuesday and Ash Wednesday since medieval times; and (possibly related), one in every four of its buildings is or has been an inn or brewery. It's not a bit surprising that illustrious visitors in its past have included Bonnie Prince Charlie and Charles I, although they probably didn’t have time to stop off for a game of footie… Add to your list Ashbourne Heights (formerly known as Highfields Park), three miles from town, well placed to reach a range of market towns like Bakewell and Buxton, and with a good range of facilities and services to fire the family up. From the site you can reach the main sights, activities, landscapes and history of the Peak District: too many to go into here, but do bring your camera. Ashbourne Heights has a heated indoor pool, and generously-sized pitches with room for awnings, gazebos and a car parked alongside. Other facilities at the park include a licensed shop, picnic area, launderette, covered washing-up areas, showers, toilets and a baby changing area. All in all, a pretty good Peak District pitstop…

What customers say

This well-maintained site offers a great location, particularly for walkers and cyclists accessing the Tissington Trail. Visitors praise the friendly staff, clean facilities including the indoor swimming pool and playground, and spacious pitches. Glamping pods and bell tents are popular, offering comfortable accommodation. Some areas for improvement include the distance of some facilities from pitches and occasional issues with shower cleanliness and availability.

Electric grass touring pitch

Liked Nice pitch and beautifully well kept site.
Useful shop and other facilities on site too. Didn’t use the pool, but a great asset.
Great access to the Tissington Trail 😁

Disliked This would have been a 9* review, but …
The toilet blocks had clearly not been cleaned for several days. The gents had an overwhelming smell of urine, caused by a leak from the urinals running across the floor to the shower units. The urinals and showers were unusable unless you fancied puddling in wee - hmmm, no thanks you.

Electric grass touring pitch

Liked Good park for the kids.

Disliked No soap in the toilets.
Showers only have a hook, nowhere to put clothes.
Overflowing bins.
Poor pitches - sloped and worn out.
Not much going on at the site. Pool is worn.

Don’t like how anyone can drive onto the site. No security at all.

Electric grass touring pitch

Liked Specious pitches, clean shower and toilets.
Ideal trails for walking and cycling. Shop on site for all essentials also a coffee and snack van on the site.
Staff were very polite and accommodating, gardener man gave us loads of tips on the area for places to go and sites to see.
We would definitely go back to this site again.

Camping pod (ensuite)

Liked Love the place it has everything you could need.

Showers are clean and really nice and hot water.

Right on Tissington Trail.
.

Disliked In the future it would be nice if the pods could have a wash up area indoors so out of the wind and rain.

Also can you turn the pressure down on the outside tap as you get soaked when washing the dishes.

Local attractions

The amount of antics available at Alton Towers near Ashbourne Heights might turn grownups grey among the thrill rides, river rapids and other heady highlights of the country’s biggest theme park. You’ll ensure Very Good Behaviour Indeed if you take the family on to Gulliver’s Kingdom at Matlock Bath, designed to keep all ages busy/tired out for later (beware the nerf guns). Other energetic Peak District pastimes include watersports, laser tag, climbing, caving and zipwiring; find out where’s what at Ashbourne’s tourist information centre, which is practised in all things Peak. More peacefully, the Peak District has a high amount of culture and heritage to explore: National Trust houses and estates, the old spa towns of Matlock and Buxton, museums of all sorts, prehistoric cave paintings, three vintage railways and aeons more. Lead mining was a main industry here from Roman times until recently and info on the industry can be mined at the Peak District Mining Museum at Matlock. Bolsover Castle, founded in the 12th century, has regular events to tempt the kids, such as exhibitions on torture for the gruesomely minded, an indoor riding school, and a theatrical room just for little darlings.
