Stride out in Sturmer

This walk around the village of Sturmer is ideal as a winter walk as, although some of the route is on public rights of way, much of it is on less muddy country lanes and established tracks

THE WALK

1 Opposite the church on the other side of the track you will see a gate with a footpath arrow. Follow this path between fencing and then through the next gate. Cross a ditch and go straight on, going uphill across the field. You should just be able to make out the line of the path. Head towards the cottage and buildings among the trees you see in the distance. As you get over the brow of the hill, bear left to a way marker post in the middle of the field. From here still head towards the buildings in the trees via two telegraph poles running across the route. You reach the footpath signpost by the lane at Abbotts Grove House.
