Orange Walk (Bedburn)
A longer route in the Bedburn valley giving elevated views over the forest and showing varied habitats of mixed woodland. It follows the start of the yellow walk then leaves it for a higher forest road,dropping down to the Grove. The route now follows an old drove road to the ruin of Metcalf's house which was once a coaching inn complete with stables. A stone path takes you back to the forest drive and back to the start via an oak plantation.
