If you have two days to spend in Ashbourne, here are some suggestions to make the most of your time:
- Visit the historical St Oswald's Church, which dates back to the 14th century. It will take around 1 hour to visit.
- Take a stroll on the Tissington Trail, a scenic walking and cycling route. You can do a short walk or a longer one, depending on your preference. Allocate half a day for this.
- Visit the Ashbourne Market, which takes place every Thursday and Saturday. It starts early in the morning, so make sure you're an early bird. You can spend 1-2 hours wandering around the stalls and buying some local produce.
- Explore the picturesque Dovedale Valley, which is a short drive away. You can do a walk along the river and see the iconic stepping stones. Allocate half a day for this.
- Visit the Ashbourne Heritage Centre, which tells the history of the town. It will take around 1 hour to visit.
For places to stay, you can look into The Izaak Walton Hotel or The George and Dragon, both of which are located in the town centre. If you're looking for something more private, try looking into Airbnb options in the surrounding areas.
