Day / Date / Time - Sunday 18 May 2014 - 10am

Meeting Point - Car park off Mill Lane

Address of walk - Mill Lane, Dedham, Suffolk

Nearest available postcode (please check this if using for your SatNav) - CO7 6DH

Rough Directions: From the A12 exit at junction 30, and follow the B1029 signs to Dedham along Dedham Road. After crossing the bridge ignore the small car park on the right. This is now Mill Lane and the car park is on the left hand side just past the Mill which is on the right

Parking & Charges - free

Suitable for buggys and wheelchairs? - possible with a struggle!

Toilet facilities - none

Refreshments – cafes and dog friendly pubs in Dedham.

Nearest dog friendly pub - The Sun, High Street Dedham open all day

Anything else – The car park can get quite full but we are able to use the Coach park which is clearly signposted on the right.

Contact name and phone number for walk - Janet 07983 430352

Bad news to report as from 1st April car parking charges will apply as follows:
1st hour is free
Up to 2 hours £1:00
Up to 4 hours £2:00
These charges also apply to the small car park oppsite the Boathouse.

This almost certainly means there will be no use of the coach park either.

I have a back up plan which involves the pub car park!

[debbie]

You'll end up spending more money in the pub than the fee to park in the car park. Not a hardship though I am guessing

Sounds better than the original idea....

Been down to Dedham this afternoon to checkout the route, car parks etc.

Just about all the route is dry after the downpours earlier in the week. So no wellies required!
The new car parking charges are now in place so bring some change. (we managed to nip round today in 1hr avoiding any payment)
Also I have to report cattle grazing on the Suffolk side of the river!

Hope to see plenty of Houndies, humans and pluses Sunday 10:00am Start
