The Donkey Track is a long-established footpath which runs northwards from Gandish Road across what was originally the village "heath" or "common".

To the south-west of the track, the undulating land is divided by the Riber stream which continues across Rectory Hill and eventually down to the Stour.

The western boundary is created by the rear of The Old Rectory and properties which face Rectory Hill, The Street, and Gaston Street.

The north-eastern side of the track is distinguished by a 20-year-old woodland at the southern end leading to cultivated fields divided by hedges leading up to Heath Road/Mill Road, the main vehicular route around East Bergholt. The rear of the 1970's Richardson Road estate and the Medical Surgery complex abut the land to the north.
