These walks from Tissington offer a gentle and thoroughly enjoyable way to explore this picture-perfect Peak District village and its surrounding countryside.

Beginning beside Tissington Hall and the village church, the walks follow sections of the former railway line before branching out to charming neighbouring villages such as Parwich and Alsop en le Dale, with open fields and peaceful views along the way.

Whichever option you choose, be sure to leave time at the end to wander around Tissington itself and enjoy a well-earned drink or bite to eat.

Walker review

We just had one navigation problem which was where the footpath became hidden by what looked like an impromptu sweetcorn crop. Fab ice cream from the car park kiosk cafe.
