Not sure if it's in the same area (I'm soooo bad at English geography ) but when we went to the Peak District we went to a place called Monkey Forest, which was um... Trentham? Staffordshire anyway. Near Stoke-on-Trent.

Actually, just found their website - https://www.trentham-monkey-forest.com/information.php?id_cat=1&id_sub_cat=19 Probably explains it better

Was a very good day out

I don't know how far Ashbourne is but it's a beautiful town. Gullivers Kingdom is a childrens theme park in Matlock, i'm not sure how old your boy is though xx

Ooh another vote for matlock its beautiful and even better on a weekend because all the bikes are out and its packed with people theyve got some lovely chippy's there too.
Another good place is markeaton park. Its great for kids and families, they have a swimming pool outside, paint a pot shop, ice cream stands, bouncy castle, little track were you can ride scooters, skateboards etc.

Ha!! Just looked, very old thread!!
I was reading one the other day and didn't recognise any names, no wonder the thread was from 2009... The babies are probably teenagers by now!!!
