Embark on a moderate touring bicycle ride along the Tissington Trail, covering 27.3 miles (43.9 km) with an elevation gain of 1231 feet (375 metres). This journey through the Derbyshire Dales offers a relaxed pace, taking about 3 hours to complete. You will cycle through rolling hills and lush fields, enjoying panoramic views of the Peak District National Park. The route passes by the charming village of Tissington, where you can spot the historic Tissington Hall. Expect serene woodlands and glimpses of traditional limestone walls as you pedal.
The Tissington Trail is generally flat and well-maintained, making it accessible for most touring bicycles. While the surface is mostly smooth, some sections might be coarser, so consider wider tires for a more comfortable ride. You can easily access the route from starting points such as Ashbourne and Parsley Hay. Bike hire facilities are available at these locations if you need to rent equipment. Plan your visit during daylight hours to fully appreciate the scenery.
This trail follows a former railway line, which explains its gentle gradient and easy navigation. As you ride, you will be treated to views towards the dramatic Dovedale ravine. Keep an eye out for diverse wildlife, including birds, deer, and rabbits, especially vibrant during spring and summer. The trail offers a peaceful way to experience the natural beauty and heritage of the Peak District.
