Clifton
About Clifton
Close to the town of Ashbourne, this is a fair sized village of various periods of housing derived mostly from the mid to late 20th century. It has close connections with the town of Ashbourne and takes part in the annual Shrovetide football game. The village has a goal in the shape of a stone plinth, which is on the site of a former corn mill in the village.
There are other points of interest around the village itself including the Hanging Bridge and Margery Bower, a mound said to be have been used by the Roundheads during the English Civil War.
