6th April 2013 Hiking - Walking: Polstead to Stoke-by-Nayland Wind Direction: Wind Stength: Surf / Sea State: Air Temperature: 8 Sea Temperature: Weather: sunny Max Speed: Distance Covered: 5 (Nautical Miles - unless stated otherwise) At last things are getting a bit warmer !!! we have had the most fantastic NE winds here in Felixstowe for the last week but just too cold to go windsurfing :( now the sun has come out and it's a balmy 8 degrees the wind drops !!! so it's on with the walking boots and we head inland again to discover the joys of Suffolk :) We start as usual with breakfast at Levington Marina before heading the 30 odd miles to Polstead a lovely small village near Hadliegh. We park by the pond and start off heading up to Polstead church - they even have a nice loo :) and then head down the hill towards Stoke-by-Nayland passing a feild of sheep with lots of new lambs :) The countryside here is quite hilly for Suffolk and we pass an amazing old water mill with lovely gardens and a swimming pool - how the other half live and lots of friendly pigs :) We make it to Stoke-by-Nayland and head to the large church and have our picnic sitting in the sun :) After a quick look around the church we head out of Stoke past the Crown Pub built in 1530 !!! past even more new lambs, past a huge house with a dove coot and across parkland with a lake and swans returning to the van for tea and cake and liston to the radio where Ipswich beat Derby 1-0 they were very lucky !!! We then head over to Hadliegh for a lovely tea with the Cutts :) and Pete gives me a lesson in Photoshopping !!! So a top day in the sunshine :) Photo Gallery here |
