Ashbourne is a traditional market town in the Derbyshire Dales of Derbyshire, England, sitting on the edge of the Peak District. The compact centre of cobbled streets and Georgian façades clusters around a lively market square and the tall tower of St Oswald's Church, with the River Dove running close by and an agricultural hinterland that shaped its coaching‑town and trading history.
Famous for the eccentric annual Royal Shrovetide football match that still draws the town together, Ashbourne is also a popular base for walkers and cyclists using routes such as the Tissington Trail to explore limestone dales like Dovedale. The local economy blends tourism, antiques and independent shops with rural services, and a busy calendar of fairs and community events helps retain a strong local character.
