Brampton station serves a very isolated local community in the heart of rural Suffolk. It also provides walkers with a convenient gateway to a landscape of extensive views across quiet, unspoiled 'working' countryside contrasting with more intimate rural scenes such as the diminutive parish church at Redisham, so evocatively described in Adrian Bell’s 'Apple Acre' when decked for harvest festival.

Route finding - key points (numbers refer to points on the route diagrams)

1. From the station go left along the road for about 50 yards. Just before the road crosses a small stream the path starts left through a small wooded area. Immediately over the footbridge go right and left following diverted field edge path.
2. A gravel drive leads towards the south door of the church. The path continues from the north-east corner of the churchyard over a footbridge.
3. Either go right along the hedge to railway stiles and an easily followed track beyond, traversing open arable farmland to Park Farm (Shorter Route), or continue along road (beware traffic). The more varied Outer Route is used for cattle grazing, so dogs must be closely controlled.
4. Path starts off right at the side of the ditch, diverging left across the field to the side of Sparrow’s Thicks and railway stiles.
5. Go right for a short distance along the broad track from South End Farm. Go ahead through a kissing gate into the meadow and cross diagonally, passing between large oaks to reach another kissing gate in the far corner.
6. Cross the footbridge set back in the hedge, then keep general direction, now on the other side of the hedge.
7. Official path goes diagonally across small a field to a gap.
8. Bridleway ahead soon swings to right following hedge, then veers left at side of a deep ditch to T junction at bottom of gentle slope. Go right along the side of Titsal wood.
9. Go left across high-sided bridleway bridge to follow diverted route with hedge on left, soon passing the end of a plantation and up rising ground at side of hedge; then a deep ditch. Bear right at field corner. Where hedge ends keep direction across field following tractor wheel marks towards Old Hall.
