For many people, Tissington is the perfect Peak District<\/a> village. Neat stone cottages fronting broad greenswards, a village green complete with a duck pond (known here as a \u2018mere\u2019), and everything governed by an elegant Jacobean manor house \u2013 Tissington Hall \u2013 and watched over by the squat Norman tower of the parish church.\u00a0<\/p>

At Ascensiontide, the five beautiful well-dressings<\/a> \u2013 traditionally the first and earliest recorded in the Peak \u2013 are in place. The only thing that Tissington seems to lack is a village pub \u2013 for that you have to go to\u00a0The Bluebell Inn, on the A515 near Tissington Gates.\u00a0<\/p>

Tissington Hall<\/h2>
This is FitzHerbert country, and most of the cottages were built and owned by the family which still occupies\u00a0 Tissington Hall<\/a>, as it has for four centuries. Home of Sir Richard FitzHerbert, the present house dates from the early 18^{th<\/sup>\u00a0century, it remains one of Derbyshire\u2019s most pleasing and intimate manor houses.<\/p>}
Opposite the hall, which has the cosy\u00a0 Herbert Tea Rooms<\/a>\u00a0in the former school buildings next door, is the splendid Norman tower of the\u00a0Parish Church of St Mary. Although heavily restored in 1854, there is still much Norman work to be seen inside, including the south doorway, the chancel arch and the 11^{th<\/sup>-century tub-shaped font.\u00a0<\/p>}

Tissington Trail<\/h2>
East of the village is the\u00a0 Tissington Trail<\/a>, a pleasant walking and riding route which follows the line of the former Ashbourne to Buxton railway line. You can now hire cycles to ride along it, or just enjoy walking along the traffic-free route which passes through some of the finest White Peak countryside.<\/p> <\/body><\/html>\n
