We are the Ipswich and District Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.

A circular walk in the peaceful Gipping Valley. A mixture of walking along the river & through farmland. Good views of the valley. Lovely wildlife. Easy walking but could be muddy in a few places if there has been a lot of rain.
We will meet near the cafe at Needham Lake. Toilets and free parking (inc EV charging).
Good pubs & fish & chips in Needham Market.
Train station close to the Lake.
Suitable for small dogs but there are 2 stiles which it would be hard for a large dog to get over.
Needham Lake is accessed from the junction of the A14 with the A140. If travelling from Ipswich turn left & the entrance to the lake is clearly marked on the right hand side after a short distance.
