Swimming swim

The Ashbourne Tunnel runs below the town of Ashbourne itself, and serves as the begining – or, alternatively, the ending – of the Tissington Trail: a 13-mile hike, much of which comprises of disused railway lines, connecting the towns of Ashbourne and Parsley Hay. Recently renovated with speakers that transmit authentic steam-powered engine noise, Ashbourne Tunnel is a highly evocative experience that is sure to transport visitors back to the age of industry. Ashbourne was first included in the North Staffordshire Railway line in 1852, as the trade of limestone grew around the town. At the end of the 19th century, this line was taken over by the London & South Western line, who were seeking a line south of Buxton, and connected Ashbourne to the junction at Parsley Hay. This saw the construction of the Ashbourne Tunnel, which was first opened in 1899.

Work is now in hand to restore the Church which will be completed in 2026.

The church dates from the 14th century. It was restored and reopened by the Bishop of Lichfield on Thursday 13 November 1851. Reredos were designed by James K Colling of London and added in 1878. On the evening of 3 December 2020, a large fire destroyed the interior of the church, including the pipe organ. The cause of the fire was found to be arson. The suspect also burned down St Mary's Catholic School in Darley Abbey and Ravensdale School in Mickleover. There are plans to restore the church using insurance money. The site is closed as work is currently being undertaken on the rebuild.
