Route: Tissington Circular
Distance: 4.5 miles
If I'm honest, this 4.5 mile walk from Tissington from the AA's 1001 Walks isn't one of the most spectacular walks in the Peak District, but it did meet all of our criteria for today - short, achievable, nice scenery, at the southern end of the Peak District (so easy to get home afterwards).
There are two stretches of the walk on the Tissington Trail - a disused railway track now colonised by walkers and cyclists - plus some open countryside up and down the hillsides to and from the village of Parwich, then a final wander through Tissington, home to a pretty Hall, multiple wells and the types of shop that play well to coach trips.
Lots of pretty scenery, some surprisingly taxing climbs and quite a lot of sheep to avoid - not highly recommended but a good way to spend a couple of hours in a beautiful part of the countryside.
