  • 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

Ashbourne Heights is a lovely spot, praised for its playground and pool, great for families exploring the Peak District. Just a heads-up, some find the loos a bit of a trek from their spot, and the showers can be hit-and-miss.

 Philippe B. 1 review

Camping pod (ensuite)

Liked The location was great, very close to a lovely walking trail and only about an hour’s walk from Ashbourne. The site was very quiet and peaceful, and the little swimming pool was a nice bonus.

Disliked There were a few things we were disappointed with. The bed wasn't particularly comfortable, and the outside light by our pod didn't work. We reported it, but unfortunately it wasn't repaired during our stay. Also no mini fridge which will be a plus.
WiFi is not free

From the manager: Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review, your feedback is appreciated.

Unfortunately we will not be going again.

Electric hardstanding touring pitch (no awning)

Liked Area was very good to visit the likes of Bakewell/Matlock Bath

Disliked We came with our touring caravan 3 years ago and everything about the place was spot on. We even had our own en-suite at the back of the van with our own washing up sink. This area is now for pods only. We had to use the communal showers and toilets and the outside washing up sink. Unfortunately the cleanliness was not very good, toilets cleaned daily however the shower I used each day had a leaf on the floor of the shower nearly the whole time I used it. To use the shower there was only a three pronged hook to hang everything on. No area to put your shower gel and hair shampoo and conditioner apart from a very small window sill which you needed to turn the bottles almost sideways so they didn’t drop on the floor.

Disliked Nothing really. Just a shame they haven’t got a better wi-fi setup as the mobile signal in this area is almost nonexistent.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked Great campsite. Facilities were very good and great to have an indoor pool on site.

Disliked The shower and toilet block are a walk from the camping field, not ideal in the middle of the night or when raining!

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.
