Chet River Circular

(Loddon to Chedgrave) - A 2.2 mile circular walk providing a different offering to the other trails, catering for everyone.

A family-friendly route, The Chet River Way begins among the beautiful weeping willows and relaxing rivers views of Loddon Staithe. It's circular walking route, meaning this could be the perfect picnicking spot start or finished your walk.

Follow the village footpaths behind the church and along the quiet Pits Lane, then progress onto a trail that tracks the course of the River Chet, where dragonflies and damselflies skim the river and kingfishers can be spotted on the reed-rich banks.

From cattle grazing in the meadows to marsh harriers patrolling the skies, wildlife here in the summer is abundant. The circular route then takes a left through the kissing gates on the common, past the paddocks before heading into Chedgrave and back along Langley Road to the Staithe.

Accessible sections

This route is along existing designated footpaths and therefore not accessible for cycling or horse riding.

There is an accessible 'out and back' stretch from Loddon Staithe, picking up part of the Wherryman's Way and along Pitt's Lane, access tested by wheelchair users.
