Overview

Meet car park at Upper Hollesley Common. From Melton, fork left after Sutton Hoo, direction Hollesley, CP is approx 2 miles on left, opposite Red Lodge Cottage.

We take the Sandlings Walk through Rendlesham Forest and go UFO spotting! Then on to Hollesley and a chance to see some Suffolk Punch horses. After a long morning walk, we stop at The Shepherd and Dog Pub, arriving around 1.30pm, lunch here or picnic. 01394 411855 for info.
