Overview

The walk starts along Ramshaw Rocks and continues across varied field and moorland to Goldstitch House following on varied tracks and paths to Gradbach Wood and Luds Church returning above the Roaches, Well Farm and Naychurch to the start.

We stop for a drink around 11.00 then for lunch at around 1.00pm. Please ensure you bring sufficient food and drink for the day, together with waterproofs as weather is unpredictable on the moorland.. Also stout walking boots are highly recommended.

Please contact walk leader if intending to join the walk leaving your contact details to advise of any changes regarding the walk. Thank you
