The Roaches and Lud's Church Circular Peak District National Park 8 Miles

Lud's Church is a deep, moss-covered chasm full of history, myths and dark green wherever you look; and to walk down its stone steps deep into the cleft is to escape into another world...
Close to the Roaches in Leek and through Staffordshire's Back Forest, is Lud's Church. An 18 metre deep chasm created in the Roaches' gritstone caused by a giant landslip, which over the ages has been covered from top to bottom in vibrant moss. This makes the entire chasm outstanding to walk through, the dampness, the deep green colour has suddenly replaced the bright and expansive landscape of the Roaches, and it almost seems unbelievable. It doesn't take long to explore the chasm, as it is only 100 metres long, but you could spend forever studying every nook and cranny, each as unique as each other #thepeakdistrict #walks #alltrails #popular #peakdistrict #ludschurch #hiking #hikingadventures #drone #dronevideo #travelgram #travellife #visituk #visitbritain #climbing #mountains#drone #droneshot #dronelife #epic #explore_britain #explorebritain #theroaches
