On passing through Grundbisburgh, turn left at a t-junction and shortly after take a right turn. Climbing immediately up hill, enter the hamlet Burgh. The next six miles or so are easy-going and you quickly find yourself passing through the pleasant village of Charsfield and soon entering Framlingham.

Passing a pleasant looking pub, continue southward to Clopton Green. Reaching the B1078, turn right and after a short distance turn right again onto the B1079(following signs for Otley College). Turn left and ascend toward the college. Heading along the straight road and take a left turn, signposted Witnesham. Continue along the B1077, passing through Witnesham and Westerfield (two pleasant pubs and a railway station) and find yourself back in Ipswich. |
