Views across the Heather

(S/E) Follow the Sailors’ Path route from the Maltings towards Aldeburgh, until you reach the small Snape Warren car park.

(1) Turn sharp right along a tarmacked lane, signposted ‘Aldeburgh’. Pass cottages and continue on track beside heathland and woodland, past a wooden kissing gate to a metal kissing gate on right.

(2) Go through the gate into Snape Warren. Red marker posts will guide you across the warren. Cross track and go straight ahead. Path follows wire fence. The marker posts lead through kissing gates and across a lane before entering woodland, meeting a well-trodden path. Turn left. Pass through gate to leave Snape Warren. Turn right to follow the edge of the saltmarsh. The footpath provides fine views of the River Alde and Iken Church. Soon after entering woodland, rejoin the path back to Snape Maltings.(S/E)

Mostly well-made paths and tracks. Return path from Snape Warren floods at very high tides.
