One of eight trig points bagged in the south of the Peak District. This was the second. I parked outside Tissington Hall for the short walk to the pillar. It sits on top of a small hill behind a group of trees as viewed from the PROW. It is in generally good condition and retains the original centre for the spider. Good views of the surrounding area.

Easy detour from the footpath- quite overlooking the farm below. Nestled to the side of a clump of trees on the hilltop. Parked in Parwich and made a circular walk of it in the evening, barely any wind, dappled sunshine, no people- great! Interestingly the footpath from the Tissington Trail appears to follow the site of an old footbridge over the railway, now only the entrances on the side of the cuttings remain.

re-visit. Once again, awake very early, so decided to make an early start and be out to Ashbourne and up the Tissington Trail before many people using it.Through tunnel (at 9.15) from Leisure Centre car park and on to the well surfaced former Buxton railway line. Turned off at Tissington station and gentle climb to cattle grid. No sign of the PROW marked on the map, but easy access through field gate and short walk up field.

Up from Tissington on a shall we/shan't we walk. Sky as rough as old boots and I'm not a fan of that leaf scurry followed by downpour sort of weather. However a glorious spot, some of the best of the Derbyshire Dales with Minning Low never far from view. 1st of 3 to bag - could have done dozens looking at the OS - great spot.

First trig of 3 on the day, Parked in Tissington trail car park and set out to walk to Kirk Ireton just East of Carsington water. Terrible ground conditions with some snow remaining on the higher ground, fields rich with very wet sticky mud (enevitable downside to walking this time of year ) Footpath navigation around Kniverton/Atlow somewhat challenging with a fair degree of guess work especially close to or around farm buildings where footpaths are marked close to the property !! not the best day for visibility unfortunately, anybody kicking out to do a multi-trig day in this part of the county, wait for the drier months.

First of two trigs on a day's walk around Ballidon with my mate, Tracker Dog. Foggy when we left Sheffield but cleared at Baslow leaving glorious weather in the White Peaks. Approached trig from path from Tissington Trail to Bent Lane. Easy to find with good views all round. Note -trig is on E side of barbed wire topped fence adjacent to copse of trees surrounded by pizza sized cow dumps, deep pan. On to Blackstone's Low trig.

Having been out with my walking group - The Irregulars, LDWA - and having parked in Tissington the opportunity to visit this location was just too good not to miss. I took the footpath up the steps from the Tissington Trail and then followed it across two fields before turning up the hill to the pillar which is situated on the east side of the fence. Everything in good order and pillar seems to still have original indented plug. Nice rural location in a lovely setting.

Just off a footpath outside Tissington village, on the edge of a pasture field and partly surrounded by some very mature beech trees. All intact with the original plug with slightly indented letters. North sighthole open, the rest closed. No paint visible. Lovely views North/South/East over the Peak District. A lovely spot - but watch the cowpats, especially around the pillar which is obviously a gathering ground....

On a footpath which is not very distinct, but marked with signpost.
