About the Walk
Join Alex and her dog Leia for a relaxed, dog-friendly guided walk exploring two of the Peak District’s most charming villages — Tissington and Parwich.
Starting from Tissington, we’ll enjoy a scenic route through rolling countryside, open fields, and peaceful lanes. The walk follows part of the Tissington Trail, before turning towards Parwich, where you’ll discover timeless village charm surrounded by gentle hills and open farmland.
This is one of our easier winter walks, offering plenty of time to take in the views, enjoy good company, and explore the quieter side of the Peak District.
