Walk 15: Bears, Moors and Naughty Monks

Thu 2nd May 10:00am

This circular walk from Blueback Bridge takes in both the East Allen and West Allen valleys and the moors that separate the two.

We will walk through this amazing area taking in its wonderful scenery and areas showing the relics of its industrial past. It includes a walk along a section of Isaac’s Tea Trail that takes us to the place where the naughty monks were sent. Intrigued? Come along with us and find out the story.
