20th August 2026 Hiking - Walking: Helmingham Hall deer park Wind Direction: Wind Stength: Surf / Sea State: Air Temperature: Sea Temperature: Weather: sunny periods Max Speed: Distance Covered: 3 miles (Nautical Miles - unless stated otherwise) Friday 20th August - walk **** – Helmingham Hall deer park – sunny periods. No Maeva today as we had her yesterday so we had to make other plans, I headed down to Felixstowe Ferry at 5.20 to sit by the River Deben to watch the sunrise through a bank of cloud! I sent the usual pics to the TV weather before having breakfast in the sunny garden with Mag before doing my exercises and packing the picnic and I took Mag on a mystery tour. The traffic was heavy near Woodbridge again but we made it to the Grundisburgh turn off and things quietened down as we headed through lovely country lanes to Helmingham Church where we park for a walk around the deer park which is also quiet! We were surprised by how quiet the Hall car park was but then discovered it is closed on Fridays! The park lakes were very short of water, hopefully now we are getting some rain here in Suffolk they might start to fill up but the egrets and moorhens were still there! There was once again loads of deer both fallow and red as well as several sheep as well as some impressive trees both dead and alive! We stopped for aged watching the deer any with cool antlers and I was lucky to spot a fox in the middle of them! We continued round the park which leads to the large obelisk where we sit to enjoy the peace and quiet enjoying our lunch before continuing out of the park and back to the van before taking the back lanes home so I could look for my lens cap at Newbourne which I seem to have misplaced, sadly we did not find it! Home for a well deserved cuppa and I was chuffed when Aisling used one of last sunset pics on this evenings weather reports on ITV’s About Anglia:) Photo Album here |
