Overview

This is a second attempt to undertake the walk previously cancelled because of the extreme wet weather conditions earlier in the year. The walk will head towards Debenham village via 'Hilly Filly' and The Butts, before passing the lake and reaching Kenton Road. Using paths and a short stretch of Kenton Road the walk will use tracks and paths to circle Kenton Hall and reach Kenton Church for a short break. Hopefully, it will be possible to see some English Long Horn cattle near the Hall. The walk will return to Debenham via field paths and Priory Lane (footpath), finishing by walking through the village, taking Gracechurch Street back to the Leisure Centre.
