Overview

Meet at Clare Country Park (CO10 8NW) at 10:00 for a 10.15am start. Note this is slightly later than usual.

We'll start the walk by climbing up to Clare Castle to take in the views of  Clare and  surroundings. Then heading off towards Belchamp St Paul and returning to the Country Park for lunch and the group AGM. There is a choice of refreshments with Platform One in the park or one of the pubs/cafes in town.

Any Ramblers members are welcome to attend the AGM, but only members of Stour Walking Group can vote.
