From a point just north of the Balkerne Gate, cross the A1232 Ipswich Road. Then cross the A120 exit slip road followed, on the opposite side of the roundabout, by crossing the A120 entry slip road. This is a very busy junction and every care should be taken to ensure your safe passage. Turn right along this entry slip road and then left into Old Ipswich Road. On the right hand side, just before reaching the Butterfly Hotel, is the concrete track which continues the circuitous route around Colchester.***
