Ashbourne is a market town in the Peak District and a popular place to visit. It has a lovely cobbled market place, lots of shops, cafes and pubs and over 200 pretty listed houses. It’s also a good location to use as a base to go on your walking adventures and we have two great Ashbourne walks on the Derbyshire Walks app which take you to a pub, along the Tissington Trail and through the beautiful Peak District countryside.

This first walk is a short family-friendly pub walk in the countryside to the north of Ashbourne.

You'll enjoy some peaceful countryside, nice views and a bit of exercise as you climb over the hill to the village of Mapleton to visit the nice pub there, before then climbing back over the hill and joining a short stretch of the Tissington Trail to take you back to the start.

Ashbourne walk 02

Ashbourne and Tissington Trail walk

Walk distance
6 miles
Time
3 hours
Route type
Circular

This second route is a longer walk that heads further into the countryside to the north of Ashbourne.

You first take a long stroll along the Tissington Trail cycle route, before cutting into some open and peaceful countryside for a walk that eventually reaches the village of Thorpe, enjoying some great views along the way.

After visiting the church in Thorpe, you'll then head to the bank of the River Thorpe for a long riverside stroll all the way to Thorpe where you'll find a country pub for refreshments.

After that, it's a short walk over a hill and through a campsite to get back to the Tisssington Trail and then back to the car park.

There is a fair amount of hill climbing on this route, so you'll need to go prepared with lots of energ and the refreshments you need to last you to the pub!

These Ashbourne walks start at coordinates: 53.01921, -1.739858
