Local area guide
Skip hire in Ashbourne
Ashbourne is a market town in Derbyshire, sitting on the southern edge of the Peak District around 13 miles north-west of Derby, with a population of around 9,000. Often called the Gateway to the Peak District, it grew as an agricultural market centre and a coaching town on the road between London and Manchester, receiving its market charter in 1257. The market still trades in the town centre, and the eighteenth-century prosperity that came with the coaching trade left Ashbourne with a fine Georgian townscape.
Church Street is widely regarded as one of the finest streets in Derbyshire, lined with Georgian and earlier houses running down to St Oswald's Church, whose 212-foot spire George Eliot called "the finest single spire in England". The church contains the celebrated marble monument to Penelope Boothby, a five-year-old who died in 1791, carved by Thomas Banks and considered one of the most affecting funerary sculptures in the country. The town centre also has the Grade I listed Old Grammar School of 1585 and the gallows sign of the Green Man and Black's Head spanning St John Street — one of very few surviving in England.
Ashbourne is best known nationally for its Royal Shrovetide Football, a mass game played through the streets and fields of the town every Shrove Tuesday and Ash Wednesday between the Up'ards and Down'ards, born north or south of Henmore Brook. The goals are three miles apart, there are almost no rules, and shops board up for the duration. The game has been played for centuries and is one of the last and largest survivals of medieval folk football in Britain.
The town sits at the meeting of the A52 and A515, giving links to Derby, Leek and Buxton, and it has no railway — the old line to Buxton now forms the Tissington Trail, a popular walking and cycling route running 13 miles north into the Peak District from the town's former station site. Dovedale, the Manifold Valley and the limestone dales of the White Peak are all close by, and the National Trust's Ilam Park and Kedleston Hall lie either side. Surrounding villages include Mayfield, Brailsford, Clifton, Hulland Ward and Fenny Bentley.
Housing in Ashbourne ranges from Georgian townhouses along Church Street and St John Street — much of the centre within a conservation area with a high concentration of listed buildings — to Victorian terraces and villas, interwar and post-war housing, and substantial modern estates on the northern and eastern edges as the town has expanded. The surrounding countryside has a large stock of stone farmhouses, cottages and converted barns, and the area's popularity with second-home buyers, retirees and Peak District visitors sustains a significant holiday-let market alongside the permanent community.
