Just six miles from Brailsford Mill is Ashbourne, a picturesque small market town situated at the southern tip of the Peak District and famous, amongst other things, for its annual Shrovetide football match. Lying in a lovely green valley the town attracts many visitors who come to enjoy a scene which has changed little in appearance since the 18th-century. The cobbled market place, hidden alleys and yards are a delight to explore, and the wide and elegant Church Street is considered to be the finest street of Georgian buildings in Derbyshire.

Proudly claiming a milling heritage dating from the time of William the Conqueror, this Grade II listed truly historic water mill offers a wonderful holiday opportunity for larger groups.
