Information on Tissington Trail - Overfield Farm, Tissington

Peak District Local Attractions

The Tissington trail begins North of Ashbourne, at Mapleton Lane. This starting point has a good range of facilities, including a cycle hire shop, and refreshments. There is a car park here although it can get very busy in the Summer months.

The Tissington trail leaves Mapleton lane and heads slowly upwards, into the surrounding countryside. It eventually reaches Thorpe, where there is a small car park and a few picnic tables.

The trail then continues to Tissington. The car park here is considerably larger, as is the picnic area. It is worth a visit to the village for refreshments and to see the impressive Tissington Hall. The short detour will also take you to the highly rated Acanthus gift shop and of course opposite is where you will find Overfield Farm.

Leaving Tissington, the trail continues to Alsop, which has a small car park. The trail then continues to Hartington, where evidence of the existence of the railway is present in the form of Hartington Signal Box.

A short distance after Hartington, the Tissington Trail meets the High Peak Trail. Here the Tissington trail ends at Parsley Hay where there is refreshments to sample before turning back for the leisurely journey home.
