This is the longest and perhaps most challenging and rewarding walk in the series, allowing walkers to enjoy isolated and remote countryside. There is considerable variety of landscape including woodland, lush meadows and the light terrain characteristic of the Suffolk Sandlings.

Look out for the stone at Blaxhall after which Stone Farm is named. A notice on the garden wall of the house explains its legendary origin (TM 351565). At the world famous Snape Maltings the route connects with the Sandlings Walk and the Suffolk Coast and Heaths path.
