Overview

The walk is one of our Saturday rambles. 

We walk alongside the River Stour from Dedham to Stratford St Mary. Then on to Langham Church, back to Stratford then heading back to Dedham by crossing the A12 via a quiet road bridge. We follow the river for a bit before walking through Bridges Farm. 

There are no stiles. We will be walking on footpaths and along roadsides on pavements. Could be muddy if it's rained & livestock.

Once in Dedham we hope to stop for a drink which is to be decided by popular vote!

Please park in the main Dedham car park which is on the left as you enter village. It is a pay & display, £2.50 for 4 hours.
