River Beane, Bramfield and Watton-at-Stone

Walk ID: 186

Quiet lanes are followed to Watton Church and thence by field-paths, crossing the A119, to pass through the grounds of Woodhall Park and meet the River Beane. This is followed closely for about 3km through Stapleford and Waterford.

After ascending Bramfield Lane to Tattle Hill a field-path is followed through crops and then a wood to reach Bramfield.

Continuing down Bury Lane, Forestry Commission paths are followed through Bramfield Park Wood and across wheatfields to Queen Hoo Hall, from which at Perrywood Farm a bridleway leads northwards to return to the railway at Watton-at-Stone.

27/04/06 - Robin Philpott : We did this walk on 24/4/06 and it is very pleasant. The stretch along the River Beane is particularly enjoyable with the river on one side and dense bluebell woods on the other. It is a fairly easy walk but is certainly more like 11 miles, or 12.5 with the additional loop, than the quoted 9.

26/02/07 - Robin Philpott : Did this walk a second time, on 17/02/07, and took an accurate distance measure using GPS. Excluding the additional loop suggested it is 15.42km. Still a lovely walk though.

21/04/06 - Ann Marie Fryer : We did this walk in April 2006 and found it most enjoyable but made it more like 11 miles than 9.

20/06/04 - Tony Cole : Really enjoyed this great walk, it's a shame that there aren't more walks posted around this lovely area. One to recommend.

15/04/02 - Kate Baker : Hasving completed this excellent walk on 14th April 2002, we were dissapointed to find that the Grandison Arms at Bramfield ceased trading on 4th April 2002 and is currently closed. I would recommend stopping elsewhere for lunch as we had a hungry & thirsty walk home!
