This is a 13 mile leisure track from Ashbourne in the south to Parsley Hay in the north, where it joins the High Peak Trail. It is in joint usage as a cycling trail, a bridleway and a walking route.
The Tissington Trail used to be part of the former railway between Ashbourne and Buxton.
The Pennine Bridleway has adopted part of the northern portion of the route.
