Overview

This is a walk of wide open spaces, coast and countryside views, RSPB and SWT wetland reserves and wartime coastal defences. We will walk about three miles on the River Ore wall from Hollesley Marshes car park, stopping for a short break at Butley Creek. We then return on a designated quiet road through Boyton village. The last section is on good field edge paths and a quiet road past HMP Warren Hill back to the car park.
