Walk directions

Start the walk where Fen Road swings round to the left, but turn right instead. Almost immediately the road bends left over a bridge, but you keep ahead on a field-edge path, with The Black Bourn just visible behind a hedge, left. Stay on this path as it crosses to the other side of the hedge and runs across the top of a meadow with The Black Bourn hidden beside a covert at the far side of the field. 

Pass a stile as you leave the meadow, and you soon reach open countryside, with arable fields ahead and a reservoir behind an embankment on your right. The path runs straight across the field, with a single large tree ahead, then enters a small meadow with stiles at either end before turning left around a field. Soon you reach a minor road opposite the entrance to Beaumont’s Hall farm.

Turn left, cross a bridge and keep straight ahead at the junction with the A1088. Stay on this road as it climbs gently into Stowlangtoft.

About the area
Suffolk is Constable country, where the county’s crumbling, time-ravaged coastline spreads itself under wide skies to convey a wonderful sense of remoteness and solitude. Highly evocative and atmospheric, this is where rivers wind lazily to the sea and notorious 18th-century smugglers hid from the excise men.
