点评:Given the production team behind HBO's House of the Dragon filmed a scene not too far away it beggars belief that they haven't filmed something at this spot!
The closest car park is approximately 1 mile away at Gradbach which is £5 all day. From the car park it is a fairly steady walk to the starting point at Gradbach Mill. Note: Don't attempt to park at the Mill as this is an events venue and private.
Conveniently adjacent to the entrance of the footpath is a small cafe selling hot and cold snacks and drinks. There is also a small block of toilets, which are very well maintained.
From this point it will take approximately 30 minutes to reach Luds Church - not actually a church but instead a mystical emerald green gorge. You'll pass by a huge Sycamore Tree which is super picturesque. You'll continue to meander up the trail until you are met with some rocky outcrops.
You'll walk down some fairly steep rocks to the entrance of the gorge and you would be crazy not to be open mouthed with amazement. It is a mix between something from the film Labyrinth and Lord of the Rings, it's incredible.
TIP: Keep to the left and you'll do a circular trail of the gorge and back to where you entered, it's definitely the best way to see it in all of it's glory.
Lud's Church isn't immensely challenging and so even those with minimum fitness should be able to enjoy. It is not however possible to access for those with pushchairs, wheelchairs or other mobility aids. Small and active children should be able to cope but there are some drops so extreme caution should be taken.
Whilst the trail is fairly access you WILL need good walking boots or other sensible footwear. Sandals and sliders are not appropriate and will likely lead to injury.
翻译:鉴于 HBO 的《龙之屋》的制作团队在不远处拍摄了一个场景,他们竟然没有在这个地点拍摄任何东西,这简直令人难以置信!
最近的停车场距离 Gradbach 约 1 英里,全天收费 5 英镑。从停车场步行到 Gradbach Mill 的起点相当平稳。注意:不要试图在 Mill 停车,因为这是一个活动场所,而且是私人的。
人行道入口旁边是一家小咖啡馆,出售冷热小吃和饮料。还有一小块厕所,维护得很好。
从这里出发大约需要 30 分钟才能到达 Luds 教堂 - 实际上不是教堂,而是一个神秘的翠绿色峡谷。您将经过一棵风景如画的巨大梧桐树。您将继续沿着小路蜿蜒而上,直到遇到一些岩石露头。
您将沿着一些相当陡峭的岩石走到峡谷的入口,如果您不惊叹不已,那您就是疯了。这是电影《魔幻迷宫》和《指环王》的混合体,令人难以置信。
提示:靠左行驶,您将绕峡谷走一条环形小径,然后回到您进入的地方,这绝对是欣赏它所有辉煌的最佳方式。
路德教堂并不是非常具有挑战性,因此即使是身体素质最低的人也应该能够享受。但是,对于那些使用婴儿车、轮椅或其他行动辅助设备的人来说,无法进入。小而好动的孩子应该能够应付,但有一些落差,因此应格外小心。
虽然这条小径相当容易通行,但您将需要好的步行靴或其他舒适的鞋子。凉鞋和拖鞋不合适,可能会导致受伤。
