TR - Stour Valley Path (Suffolk) Day 1
« on: 11:57:23, 26/07/18 »
I recently completed the Stour Valley Path in Suffolk, a 62 mile long distance route starting at the Horse-racing capital of Newmarket and ending at the Stour Estuary at Cattawade. The route was really enjoyable, lots of wildlife to see and easy going on each day thanks to the relatively flat terrain.


Trip Report for Day 1


Newmarket to Kedington

Length: 27.6km (17.12 Miles)
Time: 8 Hours 45 Minutes


Guided Walk Video:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rCv1H4y-tyY
Full Trip Report: http://www.lakedistrict-walks.co.uk/2018/April/20.04.2018_Stour_Valley_Path_Part_1.html



The first of many churches passed on the route - especially this section...



The only remaining part of what was once a Palace in Newmarket.



The Clock Tower - The official start to the route.



Joining the path along Devils Dyke.



Devils Dyke - huge 7 mile long early Saxon Earthwork. One of several in the area.



Briefly on the Icknield Way.



My first encounter with the River Stour.



The church in Kedington - the end of the first days walking.


Thanks for looking - more to come soon! :)
