Overview

This scenic and historically fascinating route was a popular outing a few years ago. The walk has been revived; let us hope that is not the case with the dragon! Bring a picnic lunch. There is a chance to swim in the River Stour after the walk, so also bring swimming things if you fancy a dip. 🧺🏊🐲
