A fabulous place to explore but it's very muddy! Apparently, the sun only shines in the chasm on midsummer's day. Keep an eye out for the Devil's Pulpit, a natural platform in the chasm from where a speech or sermon may have been given. Lud's Church is a great place to stop off on your way to The Roaches and is a short walk from the free Gradbach car park.

Legendary, mystical and often muddy!
Combine with a walk around Danebridge and The Roaches and you won't be disappointed.
