Overview

Starting from outside St Marys Church in Standon, we head west along Paper Mill Lane to reach the tunnel under the A10.  On the way will be far reaching views over the Rib Valley behind us and a fabulous view across to St Edmunds College in front. Passing under the road through fabulous graffiti'd walls, we continue along Ermine St before taking the footpath alongside the College.. We will circle around to arrive at Colliers end where we then start the return route via another tunnel, Plashes Wood and Latchford. On the return to Standon there will be more far reaching views across the valley
