Overview

Our friendly annual pre Christmas walk followed by mince pies and warm mulled wine.  This year we will be walking from Snape Maltings along the bank of the River Alde then inland before visiting the church at Iken.  We will then follow the river back to Snape.  The route may change if it’s high tide.
