Parwich & Tissington (well dressings) walk

After two recces of this walk, we think we have found a route which we hope a good number of you will feel happy to tackle! There are a number of ascents but we have eliminated some of the climbing and umpteen tricky stiles.  However, this does mean a little more road walking (on a quiet lane) than originally planned.  The total length of the walk is now approx. 5.7 miles and we would class it as moderate.

Taking heed of fellow walkers’ experiences, we have changed the start point to PARWICH, which has a small free car park and plenty of roadside parking.

Orston stroll
We suggest parking at or near Church St, Orston, (NG13 9NS). There is plenty of on road parking in the village. Setting off from the church at 10.30am we head south west from the pub and cross into Chapel Street. Continuing south west, we cross the railway and aim for Whatton-in-the-Vale. We hope to reach the pub (Cranmer Arms, Aslockton) in time for lunch, hence the later 9.30 am start. The pub doesn't serve meals so won't mind if we sit there, as long as we buy a drink. After lunch we head east out of the village and along the River Smite back to Orston.

Post recce notes: On 27th July is the Outlaw Triathlon. DON'T go to Orston via Car Colston, as our SatNav suggested. Most of the routes are restricted that day. Use the A52 as far as Elton and then turn left on Station Road. The walk is flat - the highest point is the humpback bridge! - with no stiles. Park sensitively anywhere in the village. We'll meet at the church on Church Street/The Green. Please let us know if you're going straight there.
Easy walk. No stiles.
