 A circular ramble from Stoke-by-Nayland of about seven miles in length.  The route follows parts of the Stour Valley Path and the St Edmund Way along well defined paths and quiet lanes; there are nettles and briars beside the path in some places.  Wearing long trousers or bringing other protection is advisable.  Mud is less likely but come sensibly shod.

A break in the medieval village of Nayland will be included for either a late lunch or a mid-afternoon stop. The village contains a wealth of sixteenth century timber framed houses plus a fifteen-century church with a John Constable painting.  There’s also a riverside pub for those wanting a quick drink.

After the walk you can stop for refreshments at The Angel or The Crown in Stoke‑by‑Nayland - another attractive village with a fifteen century church.
