Peak District Walk: Dovedale and Tissington

This event has now finished and can no longer be booked. Please check event listings for similar future events.

Sunday 17 October 2021 11:00

From £5.50

Overview

This is a lovely Peak District walk and not only takes in the beautiful Dovedale and Tissington village.

The walk will be around 7 miles and as well as Dovedale and the Tissington village we will use some of the Tissington Trail (course of a disused railway) and the Limestone Way with both pretty and dramatic scenery. There is just one ascent as we walk out of Dovedale.

The walk starts in Dovedale and crosses the iconic stepping stones. From there we ascend Lin Dale towards Thorpe and pick up the Limestone Way as we make our way to Tissington village. After admiring the village and maybe a coffee we use the Tissington Trail to make our way to Thorpe and then, with stunning views we descend back to Dovedale.

Leader: Steve Dell

Note: The slightly later start time

Location & Itinerary

Is this for me?

Our Sunday walks are always popular and we go out all weathers and all through the year. All walks in the Peak District need to be classified as moderate due to the terrain. Easier Moderate Walks are generally half day only around 6-8 miles.

Full day or Harder Moderate walks are normally not more than 10-12 miles although sometimes slightly more in summer months.

If you've not done much hill walking recently regardless of your general fitness level, we'd recommend starting off on one of these shorter half day walks, typically of around 6 miles before tackling our slightly more serious full day walks.

Before You Go

General walk information:

You can buy ten walks for just £45. Having allocated your ten walks we can roll any over to a later date if needed but you must give us seven days’ notice as with other Spice Cancellations.

Our walks are always popular and we go out all weathers and all through the year.

All walks in the Peak District need to be classified as moderate due to the terrain. Many members share lifts to get to the meet point so although for some of you the brilliant scenery of the Peak District will be a little distance away you shouldn't have to go on your own which should be a whole lot nicer.

If you've unsure about your level of fitness or if you haven’t done much hill walking recently you may want to start off on one of our shorter, typically of around 6 to 7 miles to “test your fitness” before progressing to any longer, more serious walks.
