Ashover is a large village and civil parish in North East Derbyshire, Derbyshire, England, sitting on high, rolling countryside at the eastern fringe of the Peak District. The landscape is characterised by stone-built cottages, dry-stone walls and gritstone outcrops, and the parish’s appearance was shaped by historic lead mining and local quarrying for sandstone.
Today Ashover retains a strong village community with a historic parish church, village pubs and local shops; farming and rural tourism remain important to the local economy while many residents commute to nearby towns. Regular events, conservation activity and good access for walkers keep its traditional Derbyshire village atmosphere alive.
