Dog-friendly Walk
If you're visiting Thorpeness with your four-legged friend, take a walk around the area with our recommended route, starting just by Thorpeness Meare and ending by Thorpeness Golf Club & Hotel.
- Distance: Approx. 4 miles
- Time: Approx. 1hr 40 minutes
- Terrain: Mainly flat walking on paths, bridleways and some shingle beach
- Stops: Thorpeness Hotel & Golf Club
- Ordnance Survey Map: Explorer 212
- Start Point OS reference: 176 478 (The Thorpeness Hotel & Golf Club Car Park)
Start just beside the Meare at Thorpeness Golf Club & Hotel, where dogs are welcome in the patio bar, lounge and library.
If the weather is fine, the patio with views across the Meare is also an excellent spot for a post-walk pit stop and snack.
Initially walking briefly beside the golf course, the route then follows what was an old railway line before crossing the main Aldeburgh road and heading out to the coast.
Once at the coast the path turns right and back towards Thorpeness.
Once back in the village the route ends passing both the ‘House in the Clouds’ and Thorpeness windmill.
