Overview

Departing from the Sportsfield we will walk south to the pretty village of Chelsworth, proceed uphill along a very quiet stretch of road, cross some meadows with sheep grazing, and then back to Bildeston with a visit to the church.  This route involves walking along "The Street" in Chelsworth, much of which has a grass verge, although care should be taken as occasional lorries travel along this road.
