The Mid-Suffolk Footpath is a 21.5 mile long waymarked trail from the Norfolk Border just north of Hoxne to the town of Stowmarket. It mostly sticks to rural paths and country lanes, avoiding any large built up areas with the opportunity to puck up supplies along the way at one of the local shops or pubs.
