From the higher ground above the little River Yox the route affords broad views along the valley in the upstream direction. Bramfield, conveniently mid-way along the route, lies in an even smaller valley, watered by a tributary of the River Blyth.

Bramfield church is thatched and has a detached round tower. It has the best rood screen in Suffolk. Opposite the church is a fine example of a crinkle-crankle wall. Extensive meadows flank the banks of the River Blyth on its approach to Halesworth. The local museum is located in part of the station buildings.

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

1. Path starts from the lodge at the park entrance and crosses the park to the church; first few yards are permissive.
2. On far side of bridge over River Yox the path branches left across a plank footbridge. Head between the two trees on the left of a row of four large oaks, to meet the hedge.
3. At the approach to Woodhill Farm go right over ladder stile. Cross the meadow almost diagonally to skirt the bank screening farm buildings. Leave the meadow by another ladder stile.
4. The path is waymarked through new planting, then goes right across an arable field to the road at North Boundary Farm (follow electricity poles if path is not marked).
5. Go through the gap, then left along a broad margin; hedge is on your left.
6. Turn left to follow the diverted path to the road.
7. Cross footbridge and bear quickly left and right to meet hedge up to Kingstall Wood (path is to left of hedge, then along broad, curving field margin at side of wood).
8. Go over the footbridge where the path and track divide, ignoring ‘Conservation Walk’.
9. Follow the path beyond the wood at the side of the hedge, and then the ditch to the rail bridge.
10. Go right along the minor road towards ‘Wenhaston Hall’.
11. At the top of the slope look for a stile on your left where the path continues along the field edge, parallel to the track. Follow hedge to the left, then right through the gap.
12. From the footbridge cross field ahead, aiming to the right of the clump of trees on the skyline.
13. Bear right, following field edge path (with hedge on your right) to corner of field.
14. Headland path starts from a narrow gap in the hedge just beyond field entrance.
15. Cross the stile on right, then go along headland to plank footbridge. Go diagonally down across large field, aiming for corner just to the right of Melles Court Farm.
16. Footbridge gives entry to the golf course. Go left, then bear right round the perimeter, following the white marker stakes.
17. At the road junction continue direction towards Holton.
18. Immediately over river bridge go left through a small thicket to follow waymarked 'Heart of Suffolk' route. Frequent footbridges and stiles show the way through riverside meadows and plantations.
19. Waymarked bridge shows where to cross to other bank.
20. Just before reaching the railway, the path crosses a footbridge on the right. Follow it under the railway line to the park and town centre.
