Route
Lynford Stag c.p, on A134 between Thetford & Mundford. OS Expl map 229. What three words: rift.costumed.sympathy. Refer to the Forestry Commission web site for more information: https://www.forestryengland.uk/lynford-stag. Note the c.p has a £3.00 charge; this is becoming commonplace for many Forestry Commission c.p

From the c.p we head north toward Lynford Arboretum. Then skirt past the lakes & north to loop around High Ash. We then retrace our steps for a short distance before heading towards Ickburgh. We continue towards Mundford but turn off early & head back to Lynford Arboretum to have lunch making use of the Shepherds Baa snack shack (a very smart snack shack) & toilet. We then continue to Munford & loop around through the forest back to the c.p

General Notes
Paths along the route are varied but mainly good. However, expect some wet grass & mud due to the time of year. There is a toilet at Lynford Arboretum (after 3km and again after 16km). The Shepherds Baa at Lynford Arboretum is well worth a look but don’t rely on it for sandwiches. There will also be a shop at Munford if anyone requires. Dogs welcome; there are some sections of the walk where dogs must be on a lead
