Deliver Flowers to Ashbourne by Clare Florist

Lying in the Derbyshire Dales, Ashbourne is a market town with a population of around seven thousand. The town itself is a beautiful mixture of medieval architecture and street patterns and modern shops and boutiques tucked in alleys and under arches. Church Street is home to several Georgian buildings and is considered one of the best examples of the architecture in the area. This small town is home to over two hundred listed building including coaching inns and town houses and the eclectic mismatch of old and new lends the whole town a distinct charm that is very popular.

Ashbourne is also a destination town for those whose interests lie in the great outdoors. Situated in a lush green valley on the southern edge of the Peak District and is known as the Gateway to the Peaks. It also marks the beginning of the Tissington Trail and offers access to a number of country house gardens and parks.

Being situated in these beautiful surroundings, there are a number of nurseries and garden centres in and around the town. Flowers and plants line the carefully cared for streets and manicured homes and gardens prove that people take their gardening seriously here. This love for the outdoors ensures that you can always find next day delivery flowers in Ashbourne or a new plant for your home or garden.

The area's history points to a love of being outside and the Royal Shrovetide Football Match is the perfect example of this. Once a year, one half of the town takes on the other half in a football game that stretches across the entire town with goals that are three miles apart. Several thousand people take part in the game between the Up'ards and the Down'ards of the town and it has been a tradition for hundreds of years.
