Old railway tunnel from Tissington trail to Ashbourne town

Swimming swim

The Ashbourne Tunnel runs below the town of Ashbourne itself, and serves as the begining – or, alternatively, the ending – of the Tissington Trail: a 13-mile hike, much of which comprises of disused railway lines, connecting the towns of Ashbourne and Parsley Hay. Recently renovated with speakers that transmit authentic steam-powered engine noise, Ashbourne Tunnel is a highly evocative experience that is sure to transport visitors back to the age of industry. Ashbourne was first included in the North Staffordshire Railway line in 1852, as the trade of limestone grew around the town. At the end of the 19th century, this line was taken over by the London & South Western line, who were seeking a line south of Buxton, and connected Ashbourne to the junction at Parsley Hay. This saw the construction of the Ashbourne Tunnel, which was first opened in 1899.

It is the family seat of the Okeover family, who have been in residence since the reign of William Rufus. The house lies close to the border between Staffordshire and Derbyshire, which lies on the far side of the small River Dove. The Hall is not open to the public. The house and manor church were pillaged by the Jacobite forces as they marched south to Swarkstone Bridge in 1745.

Nice gravel surface ,gradually rising. 16 mile long, with 2 cafe stops

Okeover Hall is a privately owned mansion which has been the seat of the Okeover family since 1087. The oldest part of the current house dates to 1745 but the nearby parish church is from the 14th century. Many rebuilds, extensions and demolitions have occurred here but the architects have been sympathetic and it's a still a good example of the period. Not open to the public but the gardens are occasionally open for visits.
