A 10 mile circular walk from Mount St Bernard Abbey to the ruins of Grace Dieu Priory. A large part of the route is through woodland areas, so expect it to be muddy in places, even if it doesn't rain this week. I would strongly recommend wearing boots, not shoes - one unavoidable puddle was over the top of my foot when I checked this route out on 16th June!

This walk is limited to 20 in recognition of the size of the car park and in consideration of leaving spaces for other visitors.

Meet in the carpark of Mount St Bernard Abbey ready to set off at 10.30. There is no fixed parking fee, but the Abbey request a donation (cash only, no change). There are toilets at the car park, but none along the route.
