Overview

The walk starts from the Tittesworth reservoir visitor centre and heads up over the fields to the Roaches where we will climb up onto the ridge. We descend at Roach End and make our way downhill towards Roche Grange and then Thorneyleigh Farm. From there we make our second ascent of the walk, but more gentle, up onto Gun Hill where there are spectacular views back across to the Roaches and the reservoir. The route back takes us through Meerbrook.
