Long Melford to Lavenham Railway Walk
4.5 miles (7.3 km)
This walk takes you from Long Melford to Lavenham along the old Long Melford–Bury St Edmunds branch line railway path.
The line opened on 9 August 1865 and closed to passengers on 10 April 1961 and freight on 19 April 1965.
The walk runs for about 4.5 miles following a section of the waymarked St Edmund Way along the old railway. The flat, shady path is lined by trees and includes some open areas with views of the surrounding countryside.
You can continue your walking in the area on the Lavenham Circular Walk.
