Ashbourne Heights Holiday Park

View prices & book Last booked 2 hours ago 8.7 516 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 is a well-maintained and clean site with friendly, helpful staff. Guests praise the spacious pitches, excellent play park, and warm indoor swimming pool. Glamping pods offer private bathrooms, a bonus for many. Its location provides easy access to the Tissington Trail and surrounding areas. Some reviews mention distant toilet facilities from tent pitches, occasional issues with cleanliness in shower blocks, and a few report uneven pitches.

Electric grass touring pitch

Liked Great setting, well maintained pitches and wonderful playpark for kids.
Physical access good but A515 plagued by large Lorries.

Disliked Toilet / shower block very basic. No seating in shower cubicles.
Waste bins too small so overflowing by morning each day.

Electric grass touring pitch

Liked Excellent. Forgot our towels and they were immediately provided without issue. My daughter also forgot to pack her toothbrush and toothpaste. The shop had shut and till closed for the day but was directed to help myself of the shelves. Paid for the items the following day. Site was spotless and the toilet and shower blocks very well kept. Ideal location to get onto the Tissington Trail with the dog. Fantastic stay, highly recommended.

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.
