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.
3. At the approach to Woodhill Farm go right through a small metal gate. Cross meadow almost diagonally to skirt bank screening farm buildings. Leave meadow by another small metal gate.
4. Follow path through new tree planting, then go right across an arable field to the road at North Boundary Farm (follow electricity poles if path is not marked out).
5. Go through gap in hedge, then left along broad conservation margin.
6. Cross footbridge and bear quickly left and right to meet a hedge up to the side of Kingstall Wood.
7. Go over footbridge where the path and track divide, ignoring 'Conservation Walk.'
8. Go right along the minor road towards 'Wenhaston Hall.'
9. At the top of slope look for a stile on your left where path crosses to the left, parallel to the track. Follow hedge to left, then right as signed.
10. From footbridge cross arable field ahead, aiming for an electricity pole to the right of a clump of trees seen on the skyline.
11. Bear right, following field edge path (with hedge on your right) to corner of field.
12. Headland path starts from a narrow gap in hedge.
13. BCross easily missed stile.
14. From plank footbridge, go diagonally down across large field, aiming for corner just to the right of Melles Court Farm.
15. Footbridge gives entry to golf course. Go left, then bear right following white marker stakes.
16. 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.
17. Just before reaching railway, the path crosses a footbridge on the right. Follow under the railway to town centre and station.
