This huge expanse of limestone paving rivals Malham in Yorkshire. It is certainly attracts less people but is certainly equally impressive. It is easily accessed from the road and there are a variety of pleasant routes to choose from if you fancy walking from Orton village. The return walk from the village would take no more than 2-3 hours at a leisurely pace.
