Overview

Join a friendly group on an attractive circular route heading out westwards from Gosfield towards Shalford. The walk is on good paths and tracks but, depending on the weather, there might be a few muddy stretches. The start and finish is the recreation ground car park off Church Road, where there is a loo and good community shop (please support). If the car park is full, there is ample free parking along the northern edge of the recreation ground in Hall Drive. The pace will be steady, with suitable pauses and a lunch break. Please bring food, drink, etc., as desired.
