The walk then takes you through the Wickhambreaux Valley to Grove where you can pick up a footpath along the River Little Stour, a chalk stream that can be followed from Wickhambreaux to West Stourmouth. This will take you south through the Newnham Valley, passing Wenderton Hoath and a series of lakes from flooded Gravel Pits. This path will eventually lead you back to Wickhambreaux.

Wickhambreaux Valley near Grove Ferry. The valley of the River Stour hereabouts is wide, marshy and very flat. The lack of natural drainage is attributable to the alluvial and clayey geology through which it passes.
