Walk up the road away from the beach or cross the meadow behind the car park and cross a stile to reach the Vulcan Arms. Continue along the road past the entrance to the power stations. Turn right after 400yds (366m) on to a track and stay on this track for 300yds (274m).

Turn left just before a cottage and follow this path beneath the power lines and alongside a small wood on the left. Cross a stile beside a gate and continue across the open meadow with views of Sizewell B to your right. A path on the right leads into the Sizewell Belts nature reserve (no dogs). Keep straight ahead on a wide bridle path. Cross a stile, then where the path swings left, turn right and immediately left beside Reckham Lodge to cross a wood and an area of heathland.

At a meadow and fork of paths, bear half right, drop down through bracken to a footbridge and follow the stream then bear left with the path to another footbridge. Cross duckboards and continue through trees to a track. Turn left, then left again to reach the car park for the permissive walks. Turn right on to a track and continue ahead for 0.75 mile (1.2km), following it left at a cottage to meet a road. Turn right to walk into Eastbridge.

After passing Eastbridge Farm on the left, look for a footpath on the right, signposted 'Minsmere Sluice'. After 50yds (46m) the path swings sharp right then turns left beside a hedge and continues alongside a field. Pass through a belt of trees and stay on this footpath across the fields with views over the Minsmere Level to your left. On reaching a five-bar gate, with a ruined chapel straight ahead bear left then right to pass the chapel on your right along a grassy lane. The path eventually swings left to run alongside Minsmere New Cut, with views of the Minsmere Nature Reserve to your left and the strange sight of Sizewell B juxtaposed behind a ruined chapel to your right.

Turn right directly after Minsmere Sluice to return to Sizewell along a wide grass track or scramble up to the top of the cliffs. Turn right just beyond the power stations to return to the car park.
