Overview

Park at Forest Lodge Car Park. From here we will walk through the forest to the edge of Fullers Mill Garden, around the gardens, through the forest to the River Lark, and West Stow Lakes. We will have a coffee break at West Stow visitor centre. We will then return back through the forest hopefully enjoying some autumnal colour as we walk.
