Getting to Darwin Lake Cottages from Ashover

About Ashover

Ashover stands very high above sea level and the village is surrounded by hills from which there are extensive views into several of the neighbouring counties. One of these hills , called The Fabric was once the site of an old Druid temple, and is a landmark that can be seen from a great distance. The village and parish was first mentioned in Domesday when it was known as Essovre, derived from village standing beyond the edge of the Ash Forest, and it has been called the valley of 'silence and wild flowers'.

There are several good pubs in the village, the Red Lion, the Black Swan and the Crispin Inn, which claims to be one of the oldest pubs in the Peak District, built in 1350 and licensed in 1416. Historical detail is provided by a sign outside the pub.

Overton Hall, built in the early 18th century was once the home of Sir Joseph Banks the celebrated naturalist, and the ruins of Eastwood Hall, destroyed by Parliamentarians after the defeat of the Royalists in 1646, can still be seen about 1 mile to the east of the village.

An annual agricultural show is held in Ashover in August.
