Discover Ashbourne, Derbyshire

Ashbourne is a small market town on the western part of Derbyshire, England. It has a population of around 10,000 people. The town is to the east of Stoke-on-Trent, to the north of Lichfield and to the south of Buxton.

As with many small towns in England today, Ashbourne is highly dependent on tourism as an income earner. Of interest here is Tissington Trail, a recreational walk and cycling path running 13 miles from Parsley Hay to Ashbourne, and passing a number of scenic sights. The town of Ashbourne itself is a quiet place. It does come alive duringthe annual Royal Shrovetide Football Match.

Visiting Ashbourne

About this website

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
