We are the Stour Walking Group. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.
This very pretty figure of 8 walk (approx 4.5 miles and 5.5 miles) starts at Needham Lake. We make our way through open countryside to Barking with views across to Baylham before returning to the Lake for lunch. Afterwards, we stroll along the banks of the River Gipping and along paths with far-reaching views to Badley.
Meet 9.45 am for prompt 10 am start.
Bring a packed lunch, and plenty to drink, especially if it’s a hot day.
The postcode given is for the car park at Needham Lake. There are 2 car parks (one small, one large) separated by a footbridge over the River Gipping. Parking is currently free. Meet outside the cafe situated near the larger car park.
