Exploring Snape is one of my favourite things to do and I can often be found there in my free time. We visited a few weeks ago before the Coronavirus situation brought us all into lockdown.

Although its not possible to visit places like...

Here is a flavour of what you can expect on a walk.... A Walk Along the...

Sometimes it takes an event to get you to visit a landmark you often pass by on your travels. That's exactly what happened for my trip to Saxtead Green Post Mill. The mill is situated on the A1120 tourist route in Suffolk and is quite eye catching as you drive through the village of Saxtead. I have driven past it many times but it was the 30 days wild that I signed up for in 2017 that prompted ...

Bodiam castle
What can I say about my visit to Bodiam Castle except that I was super excited when I saw it. Not only did it look amazing but it was surrounded by a moat that was actually FULL of water!

Marlesford
A circular walk in Marlesford is a great thing to do for a couple of hours, especially when it starts and ends at the wonderful Marlesford Farm Café and Shop.  Where better to treat yourself to something delicious after you have built up an appetite after a walk. There are many walks in the series 'Pub Walks with Darcy' in the Essential Suffolk magazine. Darcy is a Golden Retriever, but you...

Little Hall Lavenham
I was delighted to get to have a look around Little Hall in Lavenham. Its perhaps one of the most noticeable places in the town, just off the square and painted a bright yellow, you really can't miss it!
