Overview

What better way to start 2025 than going for a walk?

This walk will take us East from High Wych Memorial Hall to the edge of Sawbridgeworth before turning West towards Noons Cottages, Stonards and Fryars Farm before turning East where we will skirt round The Manor of Groves Hotel to return to High Wych.

High Wych church is well worth a visit to see it’s interior.
