This circular walk explores the countryside around the village of Tuddenham in Suffolk.
The route starts and finishes at the historic Tuddenham Mill, an ancient watermill surrounded by 12 acres of gardens and Suffolk countryside. Here you can pick up a section of the epic Icknield Way Path and follow the waymarked trail south west through the countryside to Herringswell. The route then returns to Tuddenham on an alternative country lane.
You can then continue east to explore Tuddenham Heath and the Cavenham Heath Nature Reserve. The heaths have miles of footpaths with a large variety of flora and fauna to look out for too. At the eastern end of the reserve you can pick up the Lark Valley Path and enjoy a riverside stroll along the River Lark. Following the trail east would take you into Mildenhall.

Tuddenham Mill. The current mill was designed and built in 1775 by Collins Millwrights of Melton, and its production capacity increased in 1855, when the 53-foot chimney was installed to accommodate a steam engine which drove three further sets of grindstones. The Mill continued grinding for another hundred years, when it finally became derelict.  The mill was rescued in 1972 when it was converted into a restaurant.
