- Cross the road and carry along the canal. (WARNING ROAD)
- As soon as you come across the bit where you can cross the canal cross over onto the right hand side (It’s a large sandy break in the canal).
- Carry on following the canal until you come across a lock and some machinery (Be careful around the lock as it is a steep drop down to the water).
- Keep alongside the canal and follow round to the bridge. Here you will come out onto a small road.
- Turn left and go over the bridge.
- Go past the house on your right and you will see an old war pill box.
- Turn right here and you will see your back on the canal.
- Carry on along the canal to the end and you will get to the old mill.
- When you reach the end you can either turn around and come home or head down the footpath which heads into Bacton Woods. There is a gate to the left just before you get to the end of the canal where there is miles of further walking or you can walk down Paston Way, and Pigney woods too (See Map) There is some pubs you could always take a visit to, to refresh!!
