Long Melford - Kentwell Hall - Bridge Street - Chad Brook - Long Melford
This walk of about six miles takes in many interesting features around Long Melford. It starts by passing the towering medieval church which dates from 1497. The route follows the long driveway of Kentwell Hall before skirting around the hall and continuing past it to the north. The hall can be seen from several points along the walk and has been used in several television and film productions, including the Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe.
The route then follows footpaths through open countryside round to a small hamlet called Bridge Street, with its old thatched houses and medieval architecture. The route follows a small stream called Chad Brook as it meanders its way south through several woodland plantations past St Edmund's Way and along a straight track back to Long Melford. This open countryside is home to a high range of wildlife including red deer, woodpeckers and other woodland and farmland birds.
