Overview

We meet at the Anchor Pub, Stratford St. Mary for a short circular walk to Higham and return via the river Stour.

We will stop for a short break at Higham Church, bring refreshments for this.

On our return, those wishing to have lunch can order food. We will raise a glass to Robert's memory and in gratitude for his contribution to our group and the many wonderful walks he led. 

Please note there are a number of stiles on this walk.
