Overview

The walk starts at 09.30 crossing farmland, before passing through the  attractive grounds of Clayesmore School, and the delightful setting of Oyle’s Mill, before reaching Shroton. Once past Stourpaine, we pick up the Trailway, to finish at the Stour Meadows.

Please be aware that there is once particularly wet/marshy area just before Stourpaine, therefore poles are recommended, as is water-resistant footwear!
