We are the Ipswich and District Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.

From Harkstead we will walk along a mix of field paths and quiet lanes and parts of the Stour and Orwell path to Erwarton, where we will have our apple stop, probably in the grounds of the church which has lovely views across the estuary. We will then head for the river path and follow it almost all the way to Harkstead, before heading inland and retracing the first part of our route to the car park.
Following weeks of rain prior to the recce, as expected, the paths were muddy in places and there was a fair amount of standing water, but nothing that impeded progress.
Park at Harkstead Village Hall by kind permission of village hall committee. Suggested donation of £1 per car (for upkeep of village hall). Car park is small, so please car share if possible.
