Overview

A 6.4 mile walk starting in the beautiful valley of Maltby Beck, where the ruins of Roche Abbey form a stunning picture. The walk takes in contrasting scenery, from the dense woodland of King’s Wood to the open skies of King Croft Road.  We will stop for a few minutes refreshments, where toilets are normally available.
