With the Tissington and High Peak Trails close by you can walk for miles along these old railway lines. Both trails meet at Parsley Hay, the Tissington Trail runs along a 13 mile route from Ashbourne to Parsley Hay, while the High Peak Trail is 17.5 miles long route from the High Peak junction near Cromford to Dowlow. Surrounded by beautiful countryside the traffic-free trail is ideal for horse riders, cyclists and walkers of all abilities. It is also suitable for wheel chairs and pushchairs along the flat sections and the trail is mainly mud free which is quite rare in the Peak District. From Chelmorton you can join the Midshires Way at High Stool Lane (locally known as  Blinder Lane, pronounce blin - der) and take in the panoramic views of Flagg moor. Walk along the lane until you meet the A515 cross the road and onto the High Peak Trail south towards Hurdlow, Parsley Hay and beyond.
