グレートイェルダムでの 周辺の簡単なハイキングとウォーキング

Unfortunately you can't see much of the castle from the road. The best views are from further away, as you enter the village, where the top of the keep rises above the trees.

The traditional Suffolk village of Stoke-by-Clare is nestled on the banks of the River Stour and was once home to a Benedictine priory. Today, it is a peaceful village with a church, village hall, tennis courts and a pub, the Lion, which serves good food. The Stour Valley Path passes through the heart of the village.

Baythorne Hall is a grand residence that stands proud on the hill above the River Stour as the centrepiece of the Grade II-listed Baythorne Park Estate. The Estate is privately owned and boasts 48 acres (19.5 ha) of parkland, around 60 acres (24 ha) of woodland within its grounds. The Stour Valley Path crosses the estate on its way towards Stoke-by-Clare.

A 900-year-old Norman keep, beautifully maintained. It costs to visit the castle (£8.50 for adults), but a quick glance from the comfort of your saddle won't go amiss!
