Overview

This walk starts from the visitor's car park at Stansted Gardens and takes a circular route out towards Stansted Sawmill, through a farmyard and back around onto The Avenue where views of Stansted House can be seen.  The walk continues towards Stansted then takes us on out to Lumley Wood and Broadreed Farm, before our route takes us along a field with views at the end over towards Walderton and Kingly Vale.  We then walk back to Stansted.  All are invited to stay for lunch afterwards in either The Pavilion Tea Rooms or the Stansted Garden Centre.  Unfortunately, tables can't be reserved so we'll see which venue has more space for us.
