Overview

Meet at the car park of Chappel and Wakes Colne Railway Station, for a linear walk to Sudbury.

Bring packed lunch and some change for the train back to Chappel. If there are more than three of us, we will get a group discount. Depending on timing, will determine whether we have time for refreshments in Sudbury.

Please note the start time is earlier to give us a chance of catching the 3.26pm train. If we miss that one, the next train is at 4.32pm.

This is a moderate walk.
