Starting in the car park on the Tissington Trail, Dave's walk first visited the sights of Tissington Village before following the Limestone Way as far as the
pretty village of Parwich for coffee. We continued on the Way, then left it near
Brassington where we stopped for lunch at the church. More tracks and fields took us to Bradbourne,
down to Tissington Ford and a climb back up to the start. An undulating walk in limestone country crossing
several dales with streams which drain towards Ashbourne and the River Dove. Splendid views all round with hardly a soul in sight, even on the Limestone Way.
