Ashbourne

Ashbourne Derbyshire
Ashbourne lies at the foot of the limestone hills and next to the river meadows of the River Done. Its famous product is "Ashbourne Water", pumped from the Nestle factory well. Described as "Gateway to Dovedale", Ashbourne is a busy market town centred around a cobbled market place. The streets are lined with pleasant Goergian houses, now mostly converted into shops, the most attractive being Church Street with its antique shops. The old Grammar school with its long row of stone - mullioned windows and steep gables was founded by the Cockaynes in 1585.
