There is a very popular walking and cycling trail within the town and this trail is known as the Tissington Trail. The path starts at Mapleton Lane, which is located on the northern outskirts of the town. The trail follows the route that the former Buxton to Ashbourne railway.
The trail runs from what was once the railway station for Ashbourne and then the route travels through Tissington. From the village of Tissington the trail joins that of the High Peak.

The Ashbourne railway line used to run all the way down to Rocester which is near Uttoxeter and it joined the main railway north Staffordshire. The southern link opened in 1899 but it closed to passengers in 1954 and the railway line became completely unused in the early part of the 1960's.
A section of the Limestone Way also begins in the town of Ashbourne.
Ashbourne is a fairtrade town and it became a fairtrade town in March 2005. There is a vast array of cafes, shops and a range of other businesses and organisations that support the fairtrade name.
