"I first saw the Roaches in a photo of nearby Tittesworth Reservoir; it was love at first sight! Within a year, I had climbed to its summit on a family walk. Now I've made my favourite 'Roaches Circuit', connecting Lud's Church to Gradbach and taking in the Dane Valley Way up to Three Shire Heads." By Guy Corbett-Marshall
Don't Miss: Birds galore here: dippers in the Dane, red grouse in the heather, cuckoos in the Black Brook Valley.
