Old railway tunnel from Tissington trail to Ashbourne town

Beautiful tunnel which is very photogenic from Ashbourne end

At Ilam Hall (National Trust) YHA is here too

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.

Okeover Mill is a former water mill. Early C18 with later alterations and additions. Coursed limestone rubble with ashlar quoins and dressings, and red brick additions; clay tile roof; brick ridge stack.

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

The Ashbourne Tunnel is 350m long; with cyclists friendly surface and it connects Ashbourne town centre with the Tissington Trail. After heavy rains a massive puddle forms just before the tunnel - it's about 8inch deep - perfect for a fast ride through 🌊🚴‍♀️

Lovely place for a hike with a family and a dog. I did it on a gravel bike recently but there are some serious hike a bike sections where you’re required to dismount of your bike
