Bath Grounds

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.

Great place for a picnic (don't forget to take your rubbish with you).
Just a great open space in the centre of Ashby. During the summer, Ashby cricket club play on here and there's the annual Fake festival in late May/early June.
Great for a kick about with your friends. Don't forget your jumpers for goalposts.
It is very flat, so great for parents with pushchairs and wheelchair users.
There isn't any parking, but there are a few local pay and display car parks in the town. If you don't mind a 10 minute walk, you can park in some of the side roads.
There isn't any facilities, so if you need a toilet, there are some public toilets next to JD Whetherspoons (2 minute walk) or just use Whetherspoons.
During the warmer months (pre/post covid)it is also used for The Fake Festival, Ashby Proms, Jim's Tractor Run and a few others.
Visible from The Bath Grounds are the ruins of Ashby Castle.

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

This is a Great grassy, public open space for sports activities or walking or just sitting and relaxing. Nicely maintained by ashby council

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.

Lovely walk and place to exercise dogs! Cricket in the summer and a bowling green. Also tip top events held here annually, eg Jim's Tractor Run. Past events have included battle re-enactments! The only reason it gets a 4 star rating is because it has a tendency to flood, and thus be muddy! So wear your wellies and enjoy the puddles?!

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

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!!
