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.
