Next Guided Walk

Trimley Station circular via Orwell and Trimley Marshes

Saturday 8 November – 10:35am

7 miles – 3 to 3.5 hours

Led by Andrew and Lee

From Trimley station the route heads off in a southerly direction to some of the finest estuarine scenery in England. We’ll be walking beside the tidal reaches of the River Orwell with its lagoons and reed beds, along the perimeter of grazing meadows and through tree-lined footpaths.

A substantial section of the path is along the estuary and it’s quite exposed so please plan accordingly, especially if windy weather is expected.

The Suffolk Wildlife Trust’s Trimley Marshes Reserve visitor centre is enroute; its normally open for a bit of respite; here there are toilets as well. We’ll confirm beforehand if they’ll be open during our walk.

The route is step-free; alongside the river there are long parallel paths (one higher and one lower) accessible via a ramp at either end; steps in between can be used to switch between paths.

Trains: 8:06 from Lowestoft – 9:58 from Ipswich – 10:28 from Felixstowe.

Lunch: Please bring a packed lunch; there aren’t any places for food along the way.Toilets: they’re located at the Suffolk Wildlife Trust Visitor Centre. Elsewhere there is tree cover on about half of the walk.on.
