Start in the much visited, historic and picturesque mediaeval small town of Lavenham. There is much to see here and information is available in the introduction of another of our walks, which starts and ends here. (Walk 1106.)
Follow a low ridge on the south side of the River Brett before crossing the valley at Monks Eleigh, then climbing via an old Roman road to Monks Eleigh Tye (a tiny hamlet), then crossing farmland paths to reach the equally tiny hamlet of Whelp Street. From here you turn west, using more field paths to follow the ridge north of the Brett back to Lavenham.
