  • 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 Holiday Park is a well-kept spot with great staff. Families love the playground and indoor pool. It's handy for the Tissington Trail and exploring the Peak District. Most have a good time, though some found toilets a bit far, and showers could be cleaner or have steadier hot water.

 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.

Unpowered grass tent site

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!

Unpowered grass tent site

Liked Great that there’s a pool for rainy days although limited availability.
Close to Ashbourne and lots to do in locality.

Disliked Friday night was exceptionally loud. There was some sort of dance music event which went on until midnight and was incredibly loud, even on the back field that we were camping on.
Pitches were extremely close together.

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.
