Overview

A lovely walk to Dedham following the Essex Way. We stop for lunch in Dedham where there is a choice of pubs and tea rooms then along the river to Flatford Mill for another short break before returning to Manningtree along St Edmunds Way.

As this is a long journey and there is a £4.70 parking charge suggest car sharing from Giffords Cross where possible
