Ousden is a small village in west Suffolk between Bury St Edmunds and Newmarket with a population of approximately 266 people. Ousden is on top of a hill, surrounded by beautiful rolling countryside with a good choice of walks. There are two circular walks around Ousden. A pdf leaflet can be downloaded from Suffolk County Council's Discover Suffolk website.

If you would prefer a longer walk, there is a circular walk which links the three villages of Ousden, Lidgate and Dalham. To find out details of this walk, read About this Walk

Why not combine a walk with a visit to the local pub? The village pub is called the Fox Inn. The pub serves fine real ales, ciders and wine. There is a bar and a restaurant serving tasty home cooked food from simple sandwiches and baguettes to succulent steaks and Sunday lunches. There is also an extensive beer garden.
