About
The Stour Valley Path is a 100km (62 mile) long footpath which starts in Newmarket (Suffolk) and ends in Cattawade, a village near Manningtree (Essex). The race itself will cover almost the entire length of the Stour Valley Path, which is a well marked trail. The path is particularly notable for the beauty of the scenery en route. The landscape on the Essex-Suffolk border was made famous by painters such as John Constable and Thomas Gainsborough.
