Explore the Ashbourne - Milldale
Location: Derbyshire Dales, England
Explore the stunning Derbyshire Dales on this varied 19.8 km route, beginning on the accessible Tissington Trail from Ashbourne. The journey gradually transitions to picturesque riverside paths alongside the River Dove, offering charming views. Prepare for a more rustic experience as you encounter field paths and country lanes, with a notable steep climb away from the river at the route's northernmost point, adding a rewarding challenge.
This moderate to challenging route, with its 312m ascent and mixed terrain, is ideal for runners seeking a longer, scenic adventure or those looking to incorporate some hill training into their routine. The combination of paved sections and natural trails makes it suitable for both a steady sightseeing run and focused endurance practice amidst the beautiful Dales landscape.
