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

Great spot for walkers/cyclists on Tissington Trail. Friendly staff, clean facilities (pool, playground), spacious pitches. Glamping pods/bell tents are comfy. Some pitches a bit far from facilities, occasional shower issues.

Liked Right on the limestone way, toilet block was warm and clean, easy walk along Tissington trail to a local pub. Staff very friendly.

Disliked The pitch was muddy - it had been wet and churned up by, presumably, a campervan. This was particularly disappointing on the first day of a multi day hike, as it proved impossible to stop mud getting on the rest of the tent when packing away.
The pitch by the road was occasionally noisy - both from vehicles and people walking past.

Definitely going back! For longer next time

Liked Gorgeous site. Well kept. Very clean! The staff went above and beyond, were welcoming and so helpful.

Disliked Really nit picking, but just a couple of hooks to hang things on in the pod would be great but absolutely nothing major!

Could be nice with better designed and cleaner washing facilities.

Apr 2026 Ian W.

Powered grass caravan site

Liked Well placed near Dovedale and Tissington Trail. Good playground for the children.

Disliked Tourer pitch we were first offered was a very uneven mud patch. Eventually managed to get a different pitch. Still a bit uneven and muddy but OK. Toilet block not good. Ladies side dirty and smelly needing more regular cleaning. Both ladies and gents cold with no hot water day one. Even when heating back on, hot water never actually hot. At best comes through warm. When using sinks, nowhere to hang a towel or clothes. When using shower cubicles they are small with just one clothes hook close to the shower so clothes and shoes get wet when you use the shower.
Dish washing area outside would benefit from a light.

Great! Would go again.

Liked Pool is great. The staff are all so helpful. The pods are really good value and all get their own shower and toilet.

Disliked The sheets always come off the bed. Take an extra pillow as they are very thin.

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.
