About

Ashbourne North sits on the edge of the Peak District and functions as a local market centre for the surrounding villages. Streets open onto the market square beside St Oswald’s Church and links lead out to lanes that run into the Dove valley. The town is known locally for the annual Shrovetide football match, which closes parts of the centre for a two-day event each March and draws players and spectators from the area. Local services and transport connections make Ashbourne a practical base for exploring the Dovedale and Carsington corridors.

Dovedale is a stretch of limestone valley carved by the River Dove, with a narrow gorge, outcrops such as Ilam Rock and the stepped path over the river at the famous stepping stones. Thorpe Cloud marks the valley head. Carsington Water sits to the east of the valley and provides a reservoir with a visitor centre, waymarked trails, bird hides and facilities for sailing and cycling. The routes link fields, woodlands and shorelines, so walkers can move directly from riverside paths into reservoir circuits without leaving the same landscape.
