Fairways Garden Centre

Fairways Garden Centre is a handy Ashbourne stop for dog owners who want an easy browse without leaving their pup behind. Part of the Fairways family-run group, the Ashbourne site mixes plants, gifts, home bits and pet products, so it works well as a slower detour between bigger Peak District walks and town-centre wandering.

It is especially useful on a dog-friendly break because dogs are welcome in the garden centre itself, which means you can potter, browse and pick up a few things without splitting the pack. Just note that dogs are not allowed in the café, although there is designated outdoor seating for visitors with dogs and limited undercover seating at the Ashbourne store.
