The Cambridge Group is completing circular walks to cover the Stour Valley Path during 2026. Parts of the walk follow or pass near the trackbed of a former railway line that operated between Haverhill and Clare from 1865 to 1967.
We will pass by Stoke College which is built on the site of a major medieval monastic college dating back to 1415.
The route includes the valley of the River Stour, a key natural feature of the area with river meadows and grazing land, small bridges and waterside paths & wetland habitats supporting birds and waterfowl.
Please bring food & drink with you. There is a grocery store just after the start of the walk.
