Ashbourne Heights Holiday Park

Site entrance (added by manager 29 Jul 2022)

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…

Powered concrete slab caravan site (no awning)

Liked: Very peaceful site with excellent toilet/shower facilities. Onsite shop covers basic needs at reasonable prices. All staff we met were very pleasant and polite. Perfectly located for cycling and walking trail which can be taken for a 20 min walk to a local pub which is dog friendly and does food. Would definitely visit again.

Disliked: Was a little disappointed that the swimming pool was out of action during our stay due to maintenance repairs. The chemical disposable point is a long distance away from the touring area, it seems like the tourers have been re located due to static caravan area being enlarged, a new toilet and shower facility has been placed on the touring field but I can’t understand why a chemical disposal point was not fitted. Would have given 5 stars but for these two points.

Liked: That there was plenty to do with the kiddies, a massive park, indoor swimming pool and plenty of places to walk and go on adventures. The staff were super helpful when we realise our electric hook up was too short and came straight away with an extension for us. The site was super nice, friendly and all the facilities were spotless aswell

Powered concrete slab caravan site (no awning)

Liked: Nicely located, very well kept, smallish site with good facilities including a pool and shop. We only stayed one night but it was a pleasant place to stay. Electric and water on our pitch, lots of room.

Disliked: The toilet block was out of action so we had to go looking for the one further away in the dark…. Not ideal.

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.
