Cycling - Tissington trail

We decided to go out for our first proper cycle ride today. After inflating tyres, finding the child seats and working out out to fit the bike trailer into the car, we finally got going. So apparently had everyone else. The car parks on the closest cycle trails we all full as were the road sides near them, so we set of for the Tissington Trail. it was easy cycling, great for the kids and plenty of places to stop and have a picnic. Also there was a good cycle hire facility and cycle shop on the trail at Hurdlow. After 3 hours we were back at the car feeling tired but much better for the fresh air and exercise.

chatsworth

As we start to familiarise ourselves with the vast array of places to walk and explore, eat and drink, or visit, we will post details of what we have most enjoyed so that it may help you plan your itinerary when you come and stay with us.

First stop Chatsworth House. This can easily be a full day out as there is so much to see there. We won't describe all of it as there is already a huge amount of info already on the web. We still visit regularly but just pay the car parking fee and walk around the outer grounds and do some of the walks from there. We normally finish with a drink and snack in the cafe and a trip to the farm shop.
