Overview

Meet at the Kings Forest Car Park on the B1106 (free parking), for a circular walk in and around The King's Forest.  The forest is a lovely place to visit during the winter, and the sandy soil means it's generally mud-free, whatever the weather!

We'll have our lunch break at West Stow Visitors' Centre.  There is a cafe, although please bring packed lunch and drinks/snacks for the day in case it's not open.
