Overview

Part urban and part countryside.  Starting by Needham Lake, (where there is a cafe and toilets) we'll be going through the old cattle tunnel so taller walkers will need to stoop! There is a very gentle but steady climb out of Needham Market with lovely views back along the route from the highest point.
