This circular route around the lovely Brett valley is best begun at Stratford St Mary. It takes you to Withermarsh Green, Shelley, Lower Raydon and Holton St Mary, while the short route takes you to Higham.

Some of the route is along two other epic FKTs the Stour Valley Path and also the St Edmund Way, a long distance footpath of 79 miles (127km) running from Manningtree in Essex to Brandon in the Brecks in north-west Suffolk, via Sudbury and Bury St Edmunds.

The Iron Spring Trail is located is southeast Montana, in Custer Gallatin National Forest. This place is extremely remote and doesn’t get much credit for its dozens of miles of trail. The hills in this part of the state are just high enough to receive more rain than the surrounding grasslands, and as a result have some beautiful pine forests.
