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.*** | Bus Route | Balkerne Gate Butterfly Hotel |

As the track turns left, bear right and follow the footpath between the ditch and the fence. After passing the two chicken sheds, climb the zigzag path and turn left to join the concrete track by the road bridge. Follow the track and cross the A120 by way of the bridge and continue in a south-easterly direction until you reach Fox Street (A137 Manningtree Road).*** | Parking in Old Ipswich Road Bus Route |
