Overview

An exploration of the beautiful King's Forest, a great place for winter walking thanks to the generally mud-free sandy soil.

Lunch break at West Stow Visitors Centre - toilets available.  There's also a cafe for drinks, although please bring enough food and drink for the day in case it's busy/closed.

No facilities at meet point - King's Picnic Place car park on B1106.
