Overview

Meet at the Bures Community Centre, Nayland Road for a figure of eight walk.

The morning will be out to Lamarsh and then returning via Longspring Woods, Clees Hall and Bures Hamlet. (6 miles)

After lunch at the playing fields in Bures we will continue the walk out to Smallbridge Hall, up to Lodge hills and back to the car park along the Stour Valley Path.  (4 miles)

Please note that the car park can be very busy if there are football matches on so possibly park in the square by the church or along the road past the school. 

Bring a packed lunch and a drink.
