Ashbourne

Motorhome Stopovers in Ashbourne

Ashbourne sits at the southern gateway to the Peak District National Park in Derbyshire, positioned on the A515 and close to the A52 that runs west from Derby. It’s a market town with a well-preserved Georgian centre and is widely known as the starting point for the Tissington Trail — a popular cycling and walking route following a former railway line north through the limestone dales. The town is roughly equidistant between Derby and Uttoxeter, making it a natural stopping point for motorhomers approaching the Peak District from the south or the East Midlands.

Ashbourne is one of those towns that genuinely rewards an overnight stop rather than a passing visit. Motorhome Stopover Club members share verified stopovers in and around the town — overnight stops that put you within easy reach of Dovedale, the Manifold Valley, and the southern Peak District without the congestion of higher-altitude villages.
