Ashbourne to Parsley Hay (Tissington Trail)

The trail does have some exposed parts offering beautiful long reaching views of the Derbyshire countryside as it meanders, in parallel, in parts, with the A515 to Buxton. Because of that it can be a little chilly if the weather is inclement. Some of the old stations along the route have refreshment kiosks and seating, should a rest-bite be needed on the journey to and from Parsley Hay.

This is a there 'n' back route, 97% dirt track through Tissington to Parsley Hay, on the High Peak Trail dis-used railway.

97% of the trail is dirt track.

We shall take a long break at the refreshments kiosk at Parsley Hay before returning to the start. Parsley Hay has toilet facilities. We can also take further breaks during the ride at kiosks located along the route.

A helmet is a must. Clothing suitable for changeable weather during the ride. Spare innertube/puncture kit, mobile phone, cash/card for cafe/car park, and facemask. I will update everyone prior to the ride with any relevant Covid restrictions we need to adhere to. Please ensure your bike is mechanically sound prior to arriving at the ride.

We never leave anyone behind
