Bath Grounds

Best pizza in the summer from Biddulph’s with a few drinks from the cricket club to enjoy on the Bath Grounds. *Friday evenings*

Lovely spot, just a few hundred yards from Ashby High St. Great for picnicking and people-watching on a Summer's day.

Ashby’s historic Bath Grounds is an area of parkland close to the town centre. The grounds are used everyday by residents and visitors who come to enjoy this beautiful communal space. There are many benches located around the grounds to sit on and relax or reflect. There are also a small number of memorial benches. These are available to purchase via the Memorial Bench Application Request. The grounds are also used for events such as the popular ‘Jim’s Tractor Run’ and ‘Ashby Sport Fun Day‘.

The Bath Grounds benefits from support from volunteer groups including the Friends of Ashby Bath Grounds, who were instrumental in the implementation of the all-weather Heritage Trail – scroll down for details.

The Town Council remains committed to maintaining the Bath Grounds in line with the Green Flag Scheme.

The Bath Grounds is home to Ashby Hastings Cricket Club & Ashby Bowls Club who have both been playing on the grounds for over 100 years.

Beautiful place to bring your kids

Beautiful park!

Nice place to go but spoilt by idiots smashing glass all around the paths and grass verge. Picked another handfull up this morning. Dog mess dotted about the field, disgusting. Quite a few people about walking their dogs, nice to see.

Nice and quiet and good for a walk with the dog. Outside of covid, Friday nights at the Bath grounds, where the kids get to run about, is always a treat; with beer served from the cricket club and food vans in attendance.
Hopefully they never get their way and build houses on it!!

One of the stars of ashby, lovely place to walk the dogs,you can see the castle and cricket club on the grounds is great on a summers evening for a outdoor pint and fresh pizza

The heart of Ashby enjoyed by all for generations. Watching the cricket on a summer afternoon whilst people make the best of the open space sums up what life in England is about. The towns best asset.

This is what a community space is for. Lots of people attending a well run local event, the Tractor run, with a show, food stalls, fairground rides etc etc. And hope the nearby town centre picked up some of the trade too.

Lovely open grass area to picnic or ball games. Cricket pitch and pavillion serving drinks. Close to Ashby town centre.

Well kept recreation area in lovely setting - very relaxing. Our friendly dog always enjoys the park

Just an excellent venue for Jim's tractor.

An excellent area for events or just a walk. It's a jewel in Ashby's crown

Brilliant weather good company and a beautiful park everyone social distancing excellent

Love Bath Grounds. Great cricket and a lovely relaxing walk.

During cricket season the best beer garden in town

A fantastic green space well used by the people of Ashby.

Love this park and enjoyed watching the cricket

Fake Festival venue, highly recommended 👌
