Overview

From the free car park in East Bergholt we'll walk over to Dedham for an early coffee stop in the recreation ground where there are toilets.  We will then follow the River Stour for a while before making our way to Monk's Lane and Lamb's Corner.  After some road walking we will pick up The Essex Way and follow it into Dedham for our lateish picnic lunch.

After lunch we'll follow the river to Flatford and return to the start.
