Rating -

Ashbourne is situated in the middle of England - the Midlands, in the county of Derbyshire, at the southerly end of the Pennine chain - the mountainous backbone of England. Derbyshire is popular with tourists and locals alike for its great beauty - from the ruggedness of the Peak District in the north to the more gentle hills in the south of the county. Ashbourne itself is a charming, picturesque - predominantly Georgian - market town nestling in the gently sloping Henmore valley. It is surrounded by a wide rural area, beautiful scenery and picturesque villages. The nearest city is Derby, 15 miles to the south-east, but a number of small and not so small towns are well within 30 - 40 minutes drive, such as Matlock, Buxton, Leek and Bakewell. A little further afield are the cities of Nottingham, Sheffield, Manchester and Birmingham.
