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

As with much of Suffolk. Polstead Pond is another gem worthy of a detour

Dunwich Dynamo feed stop - featured a coffee truck, and 3 food vendors. Long queues at 3am but much needed caffeine and extra snack as the temperatures dropped. There are toilets here.

The name Polstead means place by the pool. The benches by the village pond are a great spot to rest and enjoy the peace of a classic Suffolk village, surrounded by history, and picture perfect timber-framed and thatched cottages.

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.

It’s a pleasant enough spot for a quick stop if the weather’s decent but one of Visit England’s top attractions? I find that hard to believe for a glorified duck pond in an old gravel pit next to a railway line!

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.

Pretty impressive as ponds go. More of a 'duck lake'.

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.

Needham Lake is the site of a Local Nature Reserve - with wetland areas, meadows and a small woodland. It's home to a variety of wildlife. Needham Lake has been consistently ranked among Visit England's top most-visited free attractions in the UK. The Duck and Teapot café near the main entrance offers refreshments including hot snacks, cake, tea, coffee and ice cream.

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!

Scenic and peaceful place to stop. Even beautifully atmospheric when passing through in the pouring rain, makes a very wet tour more enjoyable.

Opened in 1895, Christchurch Park has served as a green recreational area for many generations in Ipswich. Amongst the rolling lawns and wooded slopes, you can find a play area, tennis courts, table tennis, an outdoor gym, bowling greens and Christchurch Mansion. This beautiful Tudor house houses a museum, art gallery, and tea room – a great place to stop for a bite to eat.
