Overview

We walk through the centre of Framlingham, cross Castle Meadow and head north on field margins, quiet lanes and tracks to Dennington. After a short break at the church, we continue our anticlockwise route, skirting Framlingham Hall, following the course of the River Ore over Durrant Bridge, back to Framlingham. Great views of the open landscape including the castle and college skylines.
