Description
This is a Slow Ways route connecting Clare and Sudbury. This new route suggestion reduces the connection by 0.86km (1/2 mile) by having a more direct passage through Sudbury. The path is mostly alongside farmland with a couple of small villages in between. The route is only moderately well signposted; in some instances there are no footpaths signs and in other cases the footpath has been changed by farmers but generally paths are marked. In some areas the path is overgrown but still passable. Mostly flat, biggest climb is a 40m hill just outside Clare
