Overview

We first go up to and along the Roaches to Roach end. Then down into the wood and across to and through Lud's Church, which is a mysterious place of legend and ancient history, a deep, dark chasm, with rocks covered in green - beautiful for photos.  We then follow tracks down over the river towards Gradbach before turning off through farm yard and fields and up onto Gradbach hill, with its amazing views. From there we take quiet lanes eastwards to then walk in Black Brook Nature reserve and over Ramshaw rocks before returning back to the starting point.
