Overview

An undulating circular walk from Lower Holbrook with some fine views, across open farm land, through villages and along the River Stour.

Park in the free community car park off The Street or in roads nearby e.g. Heathfield Road, NOT in the Village Hall car park or at the Co-op. The community cark park is slightly north west and visible from both of these, on the eastern side of the road. (See photo.)

The walk will start from the community car park. There are three or four stiles, some uneven ground and two short road sections. There might be some mud.

The final section is along a narrow path by a stream to be checked again just before the walk proper. If necessary, I will substitute this with some road walking. 

Dogs must be on leads.
