Overview

A circular walk starting from East Bergholt village car park. 

We will walk along a quiet lane to Flatford, taking in views of the Stour Valley. At Flatford we will pass Willy Lotts cottage, use National Trust paths  joining public footpaths & a short section of the quiet lane back to our starting point.

There is one stile, with a dog lift gate. Dogs on leads are welcome.

There are toilets at the start & at Flatford.

It may be muddy in places.

There is a cafe in the village where we will stop for a drink, something to eat should you wish. We hope to sit in the courtyard garden, where dogs are allowed. Fingers crossed for dry weather!
