Ashbourne Heights Holiday Park

View prices & book Last booked 5 hours ago 8.9 502 reviews

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…

Bell tent (four person)

Liked Ashbourne Heights has always been a favorite camping location for us as a family and we would recommend anyone staying. After trying out electric and non electric tent pitches we tried out the new bell tents and they didn’t let us down! The decoration inside is beautiful and the location is perfect for getting onto the Tissington Trail. There were Porter loos close by but the shower and toilet block was a 5 minute walk at best! Very peaceful and as always a great stay! Thank you.

Camping pod

Liked The pod was brilliant. Clean and surprisingly spacious (compared to others we have stayed at). Beds were comfortable and the shower/toilet/washing up area was very handy.
The site was great for the kids, they loved the park and there was lots of room to play too.
Pool was good and shop had the basics.

Disliked The only negative were the wasps but this can’t be helped.

Powered grass tent campsite

Liked Great pool, which requires booking, this really managed guests with great success ensuring the pool wasn't to busy!

The facilities were excellent, very clean showers/toilets which were always fully stocked

Park was great, lots of things for children to play on with lots of space to run around

You can clearly see that the staff have pride in the park, its spotless everywhere!

Disliked Slight trek from our pitch to wash up area

Minimal signal at the site (obviously they don't have control over this)

Powered grass tent campsite

Liked Quiet site, good spacing, nice open areas for children to play. Park was big, children enjoyed the different equipment. Toilets were clean majority of the time

Disliked We were placed quite far from the toilets and park which was difficult with young kids at night time. Wash up areas very far from the camping area also. Shop was very expensive! Only one pub within walking distance.

Excellent campsite and would definitely go again.

Camping pod

Liked The camping pods were really nice, everything was clean.
We used as a base for an Alton towers visit so didn't use any other facilities.
Having the en suite is a game changer!

Disliked The en suite rooms could use a really good scrub in places.

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.
