Directions: From Cambridge take the A603 Barton Road as far as a sign for Orwell and turn left into Fisher’s Lane. Go past the church and take a right turn into Town Green Road. The Chequers pub is on the right, opposite the shop. When you drive into the small car park, stay on the right hand side of the dividing wall. If you are not staying for lunch or if the car park is full, please park along the left hand side of Town Green Road, past the shop layby.

Turn left and walk along wide grassy path to a hedge on the left. Go round to the far side of the hedge and turn left. At another hedge, follow the path round to the left side of the hedge and continue on the path to cross over a footbridge for a break. (Approx 50 mins).
