Amazing YHA

Old railway tunnel from Tissington trail to Ashbourne town

Beautiful tunnel which is very photogenic from Ashbourne end

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.

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

Ilam Hall boasts a YHA and tea rooms. A good place to vist and walk around the park.

Ilam Hall stands at the centre of the Ilam Park Estate. Built in the 16th century the hall was owned by the Port family for over 200 years. It was sold in 1809 and then rebuilt between 1821 and 1826. It fell into disrepair and was partially demolished before being saved by Sir Robert McDougal in 1930. He gave it to the National Trust but requested that a section was used as a youth hostel. Today you can stay at the hostel or visit the NT managed house and estate. There is a nice cafe on site and lots of great walks start here.
