Highfield House is conveniently placed opposite the Dye House Field woodland plantation, recently created by the Lavenham Woodland Trust, and affords easy access to some of Lavenham’s delightful footpath walks.

The village lies within a gently undulating landscape providing remarkable views.

Within Lavenham the walks available include the Wool Walk, the Medieval Meander and the Pub Preambulation. These can be booked at the Tourist Information Centre in Lady Street (telephone 01787 248207, or Email)

There is an excellent network of footpaths and the Railway Walk is a Country Wildlife site.

The Lavenham Circular Walk is a three and a half mile walk which begins at Lavenham Church and then goes out into the countryside, runs along the disused railway, through quiet pastureland and returning by Lavenham Hall.

The Long Melford Walk is a four mile walk which goes along the disused railway track and farm track to Long Melford.
