A walk of contrasts between ancient and modern Suffolk — a 'Fantastical' modern house topped by a metal dragon set against traditional farmsteads — following part of the former perimeter track of the WW2 airfield that was home to the US fighter group famed as 'Zemke's Wolfpack', whose memorials and museum stand among ancient hedgerows.

End-of-walk reward: No pubs or shops on the route; plenty of choice in Halesworth (seasonal teas at Sunnyside Farm, Westhall, on Thursdays and Fridays in August).

Warnings: Brampton station serves an isolated community with no amenities — the walk is best done north to south, ending at Halesworth.
