Description

A replacement for SafHav 1 which avoids some unsafe road walking along 50mph Burton Road outside Haverhill highlighted in a review. It's largely based on the original route and changes suggested by SuffolkJohn, who knows the area.

There are not many facilities along this route, based on internet searching. There is a pub in Ashdon under fairly new management, (previously?) called the Rose and Crown, not sure about food or hours. Ashdon also has a small village museum and a restored 18th century windmill, although both are a bit off this route. https://ashdonparish.co.uk/landmarks. Castle Camps also has a pub, called the Oak. The website seems a little out of date and the facebook page is still under "The Cock", an earlier name. There are a few buses through Ashdon and Castle Camps, although not on Sundays, but I couldn't find any places to stay overnight

Surveys

We are working to build-up a picture of what routes look like. To do that we are asking volunteers to survey routes so that we can communicate features, obstacles and challenges that may make a route desirable or not.

Slow Ways surveyors are asked to complete some basic online training, but they are not vetted. If you are dependent on the survey information being correct in order to complete a route, we recommend that you think critically about the information provided. You may also wish to wait until more than one survey has been completed.

Help people know more about this route by volunteering to submit a survey.

  1. Complete the survey training.
