Suffolk - A Dog Walker's Guidebook

by: Diana Irwin
Walking with your dog is a joy and you couldn't hope for a more enthusiastic walking companion. But once you leave your familiar routes there is always the worry of where you might suddenly come across a field of sheep or a busy road, as well as knowing which pubs and cafes would welcome you both.
Here is a collection of 20 stimulating circular walks chosen specifically for dog walkers and varying in length from 2.5 to 6 miles. They include exploring the shingle beach at Thorpeness; and dunes near Southwold; the beautifully preserved medieval town of Lavenham; woodland walks packed with adventure in Bradfield and King's Forest; and riverside walks by the Orwell, Gipping and Lark
.
All the walks include details of dog factors such as livestock and stiles, recommended dog friendly pubs and cafes and contact details for the nearest vets. Other practical information includes distance, terrain, where to park, how to get there and nearest refreshments. The route finding instructions are in clear numbered paragraphs supported by a coloured sketch map with corresponding location numbers.
