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

Trimley Marshes is a picturesque and diverse habitat located on the coast of Suffolk. It is made up of wetland, reedbed, and grasslands, which provides refuge for a number of wonderful bird species including marsh harriers, avocets, and bearded tits. You'll also spot some seasonal cattle grazing the grasslands too.

Dedham Therapy Farm is a tranquil retreat in the Suffolk countryside, offering therapeutic activities and programs to promote mental health and well-being. Whilst you cannot actually enter the farm without appointment, you can still stroll by and enjoy the animal interactions.

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.

Lemons Hill Bridge crosses Alton Water and links the two parts of Tattingstone which were split when the reservoir was created. A great number of buildings were lost. In the north is the village pub, the White Horse, a lovely place to stop, while in the south is an 18th century workhouse and the parish church. If you are running through the village keep an eye out for the red phone box which is home to a collection of audio recordings of people who were impacted by the flooding of the area to make way for Alton Water.

Rolling lawns, lakes and woodlands, Christchurch Park is a great place to find nature on a run in Ipswich. It opened in 1985 and has been a popular place for relaxation and activity since. There are pubic toilets to the east of Bridle Way.

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!

The largest manmade reservoir in Suffolk, Alton Water is a tranquil place to whittle away some time on a bike Tour. It took over 13 years to construct the reservoir, opening in 1987. The waters' surface area measures a whopping 400 acres (160 ha) – plenty big enough to enjoy various watersports!
