Orwell VistasTrimley - Derby Road - 14 miles / 21.7 kms

3

Paths waymarked as part of the Stour

and Orwell Walk follow the north bank of

the estuary, providing superb vantage

points from which to enjoy the scenery of

the Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty

(AONB). At high water the estuary is

almost 3/4 mile wide and there are

panoramic views up and downstream,

notably from the low wooded cliffs above

Nacton shore. The massive, sweeping

lines of the Orwell Bridge can be admired

from Piper's Vale. At low tide exposed

mud flats provide a paradise for birds

and those who delight in watching them.

Leaving Trimley station go left over the level

crossing along Cordy’s Lane.

Turn right off Cordy’s Lane into Keeper’s Track. Go

past the entrance to Keeper’s Lodge - keep ahead

on footpath parallel to short ‘permissive bridleway.’

Path goes off right, then almost immediately bears

left to cross dam at head of small lake, then bears

right through the corner of Kiln Grove to join track

leading towards farm buildings at Grimston Hall.

Turn left along Stour and Orwell Walk Inland Route

down gentle slope overlooking Loompit Lake and

riverside.

At river bank go right past Loompit Lakes to follow

waymarked Stour and Orwell Walk.

At the far end of the marina, look for a sharp left

turn (signed) leading towards the river bank.

At the head of Levington Creek either go left to

continue along the bank top path or make a short

diversion along the minor road (left) to the Ship Inn

adjacent to the church. Local paths leading back

to the creek start immediately opposite the Ship.

At Nacton shore the S&O Walk heads inland along

a minor road passing Orwell Park school and

church; then along Ipswich Road (beware traffic) to

the A14 underpass. (Cycle route 51)

Go left along the roadside track signed to Orwell

Country Park.

At the river go right to pass below the Orwell

Bridge.

From Piper’s Vale go along Raeburn Road, right at

Landseer Road then left along Clapgate Lane.

Landseer Park. The S&O Walk follows the eastern

and northern boundaries to Cliff Lane, then left

almost to the main road junction.

Holywells Park. For Derby Road station bear right

to the stable block and Nacton Road entrance;

then Alan Road and Rosehill Road. Alternatively,

follow S&O Walk signs to the Myrtle Road

entrance, then right along Duke Street to the

Ipswich Waterfront, Stoke Bridge and Princes

Street Bridge adjacent to Ipswich station.
