Stylised nightjar logoSandlings Walk

Suffolk

92 km / 57 miles
The walk is unusual in having two different start points in Ipswich. This is to enable an exploration of either Rushmere Heath or Purdis Heath (on the St Augustine's alternative) before joining the main route at Foxhall Heath. It takes a mostly inland route through several areas of remaining Sandlings Heaths passing through Woodbridge, with its Tide Mill, Snape Maltings, Sizewell, Dunwich and finishing at the pier in Southwold.
