We are the Bury St Edmunds Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.

The St Edmund Way is a long distance path across Suffolk, connecting Manningtree to Brandon. We'll gradually walk the whole 80 mile route in a series of walks, exploring some of the surrounding area as we go.
We're aiming to complete the trail without any/much car shuffling, and with no convenient public transport for this section, Stage 2 will be a circular walk. Starting where Stage 1 finished, we'll walk along the St Edmund Way from Stratford St Mary to Stoke by Nayland, and return to our cars using local lanes, footpaths, and part of the Essex Way.
With very few facilities along the route, please bring enough food and drink for the day.
Meet at Stratford St Mary (the same parking area we used for Stage 1). Car sharing encouraged.
Meet in the car park adjacent to the old Black Horse Pub. The pub is now closed, although the parking is still available to use. It's a fairly large space, but please park closely and car share if possible to reduce the number of cars and space we take up.
