Start: A small rough area accessible as a car park can be found east of Sudbourne along School Lane and on the edge of Tunstall Forest. Grid ref. TM 420 530
A well marked waymarked trail around the ancient woodland
(S/E) From the car park, return back along School Lane (West) until the road has a slight bend where the old Schoolhouse is located on the right. Just past this, what looks like a driveway, is the access to Captains Wood.
(1) At the top end, a gate leads into a meadow with an information board just beyond the gate. This details the route around the forest plus provides information about the flora, fauna, and wildlife.
For this instance of the walk take the right-hand route alongside the boundary of the field and keep following the path and waymarkers.
(2) Eventually, the path comes to a pond across which there is further woodland, at this point follow the waymarkers away from the pond. Eventually, the route comes to a meeting of paths, take the right-hand route which has the waymarkers on the opposite side of the posts, and continue along this route until it eventually returns to the meadow.
One cannot get lost, although it can be disorientating as to where one is relative to the start. There is no more than 1.5 miles of walking in the forest and the end of the route is soon reached. Take ones time and enjoy the natural woodland scenery. (S/E)
