The Snape Maltings to Iken walk is a must if you like getting away from it all and immersing yourself in beautiful surroundings and Suffolk big skies.

Sometimes you discover a place that is so peaceful and pretty that you can't wait to go back. A walk along the River Deben to Martlesham Creek was that place for me this week.

Its a great place for children (and big kids who like animals too!) as there was a goo...
