Countryside Walk, Melford HallWalking route9.6 km

Circular ramble with rolling hills and beautiful vistas. Look out for poppies in summer. Easy walking on distinct dirt or grassy paths. Two stiles. Can be muddy after wet weather, so boots may be necessary. Care needed when crossing the busy A134, twice.
