Slow Ways linking Hadleigh and Acton (Suffolk), Bildeston, Bures, Colchester, Ipswich, Manningtree, Needham Market, Sudbury

Help connect Hadleigh
Many Slow Ways have several route options. Some will be better than others, or good for different reasons.
Our goal is for each Slow Way to have at least one route that is verified and surveyed. To be verified – and get its snail badge – a route needs at least three positive reviews.
Give a hike and help get a for every one of Hadleigh’s Slow Ways.

Pictures attached show gate and overgrown footpath entrance, however walk 100 yards more and a pleasant estate road takes you to a well signposted footpath to later rejoin the original route. Turn left and follow the footpath for half a mile until you join the Boxted Road and a bridge crossing. Alternatively follow Brick Kiln Lane as originally planned and continue on the Essex Way to Armoury Road and to West Bergholt (Essex Way signs all the way).Turn left onto B1508 and stay on footpath through Braiswick into Colchester....

I would have given the walk 4 stars but for one section between Ash St in Whatfield and Rectory Rd in Semer. The GPX made it very easy to navigate and with the proviso of the overgrown section, I would recommend this walk to others....
Paul Muschamp
The first part was really nice but the road from Great Waldingfield to Sudbury was horrible - a busy road with a pavement for 2 miles. It would have been much better to leave the route there and go via Acton - probably longer but would have been much nicer I expect....
