Walking in the Stour Valley and beyond

Welcome to the Stour Walking Ramblers group. We're a working-age group based in the Stour valley area between north Essex and Suffolk. Our walks tend to be in mid or south Suffolk and north Essex including the coasts of these areas.  

We aim to run two walks per month, usually on the first and third Sunday of the month. Distances covered are between 7 and 18 miles, with a moderate pace, and stops for a packed lunch, and often refreshments afterwards. We aim to walk off-road as much as possible and the terrain is generally quite flat with a few small hills, a mixture of open fields and patches of woodland.  

There’s no need to book a place on our walks unless the walk description says so - just find us at the meet/start point and introduce yourself.

 Non-members are very welcome to come and try us out – so get in touch if you have any questions. We hope to walk with you soon!
