This figure-of-eight walk starts and finishes at The Crowfield Rose pub. From there you walk via well-maintained footpaths, bridleways and byways across agricultural land to the magnificent Helmingham Deer-Park. You then walk all three of the rights of way running through the park, giving you the maximum opportunity to see the large numbers of deer, the magnificent mature oak-trees and Helmingham Hall itself. You then return to the start by a different route on paths across agricultural land. You have to cross four large ladder-stiles (deer-proof at seven foot high), all in good condition and reasonably easy to negotiate. There is also one unusual, small ladder-stile which is not so easy to negotiate. It is much easier to step through the wooden fence to one side between the upper and lower rails.
