This walk is from the coastline, passing Pleasurewood Hills, an American theme park, then into the rural countryside by footpaths and tracks to the village of Blundeston, where the novel 'David Copperfield' was created by Charles Dickens. In Blundeston there is an excellent pub, The Plough, which has several real ales on offer and a very good menu to choose from. It is open seven days a week.
The return route is along footpaths and through woodland. We had hoped to use part of the cliff path but it was closed due to a collapse into the sea. The beach can only be walked when the tide is out.
There are no stiles en route but some of the paths may be overgrown at times; if you wish to complain about this, please contact Suffolk County Council on 01728-403066.

Did this walk, do not recommend it. It was badly sign posted, extremely overgrown with stinging needles and brambles almost impenetrable at times. So very slow going and not nice. Public footpath was gated and padlocked at one point.
