スタットンでの周辺の簡単なハイキングとウォーキング

Lemons Hill Bridge carries the road across the northern end of Alton water reservoir. It links the two parts of Tattingstone village.

A House for Essex is a stunning piece of art by FAT Architecture and Grayson Perry. Part of the 'Living Architecture' programme, it is rented out as holiday accommodation and the inside is a gallery of further artwork.

From this point you can access a beautiful sand and shingle riverside beach with gorgeous views across the water to Wrabness on the other side.

The best view of the upper part of Alton Water. A wide, fast descent to the bridge from either direction with a short climb out.

The road is a dead end but the lakeside view is very nice. Worth it if you want somewhere scenic to stop although not always very tranquil in the summer with the watersports centre, neighbouring campsite and playground.

the welcome cafe had great flapjacks for refuelling

Completed in 1987, Alton Water is a hive of outdoor activity from watersports, cycling, walking, running, birdwatching and fishing. There is a cafe and toilets at the watersports centre plus camping if you would like to extend your visit.

Alton Water is a popular place for outdoor activity, but really exists as a water source for the people of Ipswich. The dam wall blocks the River Gripping and the water treatment works below the dam can treat up to 10 million imperial gallons of water a day!
