TR - St Edmund Way (With Video) - Day 1

The St Edmund Way runs for 80 miles from Manningtree on the Suffolk/Essex Border and finishes in Branson on the Norfolk border, taking in the Stour Valley, Lavenham, Bury St Edmunds, The Lark Valley, The Icknield Way and the Little Ouse River. This is part of my journey...

Great pics on forum and have started watching the video's as this is a walk I wouldn't mind doing. Living in Essex, the start is just up the road from me.


On your travels doing the St. Edmund Way, did you notice any campsites? I would prefer to do the walk on a multi day hike in one big go but when I have looked at the route online I didn't see any campsites on route.
