The village of Laxfield has an immediately welcoming atmosphere. Two excellent hostelries, a museum, church, chapel and general store make it self-contained and offer the facilities a walker needs.
Our walk starts near the Baptist Chapel with its memorial to John Noyes, who met a sticky end in 1557. Quite quickly we are in open farmland on well-defined margins, with waymarks and bridges where needed, so navigation is straightforward. A short road section leads to Chippenhall Green, an open grassy area, before regaining the farmland. At Waymark 7 a diversion into the village of Cratfield and its pub is easy enough, rejoining the route at Waymark 8, by the church. The walk returns to Laxfield across fields and a grassy ride and should be easy enough in all weather, though some of the fields can be sticky with clay underfoot.
