Ashbourne Heights Holiday Park

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.

Glamping camping pod

Liked The site was lovely and well kept. The local takeaway list was a god send for our late arrival. FYI Bennys was insanely good. Everyone was friendly, peaceful and I liked the spacing between the pods. Very relaxing and good value. Can see us returning!

Disliked The bed is …… a challenge. I understand there is a space constraint but the mattress could have been better but it does the job.

Overall it was clean but just could do with a deep clean on things like the sofa. Also it seemed the tv remote batteries may have exploded but hadn’t been removed and remote cleaned so that was shall we say icky.

Glamping camping pod

Liked Everything, second time staying here. First time in a camping pod second time upgraded to the Glamping. Both are good, if we were without kids I’d probably choose the camping pod, with kids it’s just easier to have that kitchen area in the Glamping. Staff very friendly, very good service. Glamping pod was lovely and spacious. Swimming pool area is nice and clean, if I’m being really picky pool is a little deep for younger children minimum is 1.2m but I was well prepared with all safety measures, floats, armbands, vests etc so all good, we enjoyed the swimming so would go in again. Play park is well maintained, shop is well stocked with essentials. Will book again for sure!

Glamping camping pod

Liked Our pod was lovely and clean, and the double bed in the pod was very comfortable. The view from the porch was beautiful as well! The staff were so friendly, attentive, and helpful.

Disliked I wouldn't say it necessarily falls under "dislike", but it should be noted that the pods are not very well insulated, so we were quite cold our first night there, even with the heating unit in the pod on high. It was handled swiftly the next morning by a member of staff, and they brought us a small, additional heater for the rest of our stay. The pool facility is also a bit outdated, and it smelled a bit of smoke in certain areas but also that's to be expected in older buildings, and the pool and room was still fully functional and housed everything we needed whilst we were swimming.

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.
