Overview

From the old station we follow the path to cross the river, passing the 14th century monks hall and Moravian church, we head into the woods and make our way to the Wye Valley Greenway. We then follow the flat path to and through the 1km Tidenham tunnel before making our way back to the woodland and up to Devils Pulpit for veiws over the Abbey before returning via woodland and farmland.
