Hiking

Breathtaking to walk through the heart of Luds Church. Does get a bit boggy though when it has rained and needs some surefootedness at times.

You’d never know this existed unless I had it on map, beautiful place hidden in the trees

This is a beautiful find! If you continue on the normal Roaches trail and follow the signs for the Luds curch, you will be presented with this breathtaking little cave (which isn't so much a cave). There's a lot of history here that's great to read into. Definitely not something to miss!
