Ashbourne is a small market town on the western part of Derbyshire, England. It has a population of around 10,000 people. The town is to the east of Stoke-on-Trent, to the north of Lichfield and to the south of Buxton.

As with many small towns in England today, Ashbourne is highly dependent on tourism as an income earner. Of interest here is Tissington Trail, a recreational walk and cycling path running 13 miles from Parsley Hay to Ashbourne, and passing a number of scenic sights. The town of Ashbourne itself is a quiet place. It does come alive duringthe annual Royal Shrovetide Football Match.

About this website
Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.
While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
To get to know me better, do follow me on Facebook!
