Walk Instructions
Start Point
Start along the road to the south, away from the church, passing a row of cottages and modern properties.
1. In 200m. turn left over a signposted stile,
immediately before a street called ‘The Oaks’. The
path is between hedges, with the base of a former
windmill to the left. Go over a second stile and then
a third, before crossing a cultivated field on a reserved
path through the crop. Cross a minor road and
continue along a signposted track. In about 200m.,
the track bends to the left, leave the track here towards
a small pond on the left as the path continues across a
field. Ignore a waymarked path to the right, following
a path (green waymark) reserved across a cultivated
field. At the far end of the field go right, then left, to
pass through a little wood. Continue along the edge
of a cultivated field, turn right to reach a ditch in 30m.
Turn left to walk beside the ditch.
2. Cross a minor road, along a good grass track, with
a hedge, and soon woodland, on the right. Follow the
indicated direction to cross a large rising cultivated
field on a reserved path. After the field, go left and
immediately right, alongside another field, then bear
right on a grass path, go through a wooden barrier and
metal gates to pass stables and join a public road.
3. Turn left to walk by the roadside through East
Tuddenham to a junction with the main road, where
there is a village sign and a covered former well/pump.
Turn right then, in 40m., turn first left via road to pass
between commercial and farm buildings on a surfaced
lane. The surface is soon lost as the lane heads
towards Whitford Bridge, passing a little wood and
rising very gently.
4. Join a surfaced road (Whitford Bridge over the River
Tud is 120m. to the right). Turn first left via road to
head for Mattishall. As the road forks in 60m., keep
right to stay with this minor road, initially rising gently.
The square tower of St. Peter’s Church, Mattishall
Burgh is in distant view ahead. Pass a plantation of
young trees on the left before reaching a road junction.
5. Turn left, signposted ‘Mattishall’, (St. Peter’s
Church is a short diversion to the left) to walk past
the residences of Mattishall Burgh back to the main
road, with the Swan Inn and an overflow car park on
the right. Cross the road to return to the parking area
behind the church.
