Walk 1
Walk 1 Ruins of Abbey (6 miles) | Time:2h 30 mins |
This pleasant but strenuous walk leads to the ruins of an old Cistercian Abbey. Parts of the walk go through some very marshy fields, see map, and wellingtons are essential - even during a long dry spell! The gps will take you uphill to another track and drier ground bypassing a badly maintained path which continues across the marshy area. |
