Overview

We explore the countryside of Middle Eden, taking in the valleys of several of the Eden's tributaries. Starting from the picturesque village of Great Asby we walk over fields, pastures and alongside becks, on tracks and quiet lanes. After visiting the hamlet of Hoff we continue to the beautiful waterfall of Rutter Force, then return to Great Asby. Throughout there are lovely views of farmland and hillsides, and we will walk at a moderate pace.
