The pub in Thomson (The Chequers) on Griston Road is worth a visit...old with lots of character.

There's a pleasant riverside rest spot just next to the bridge on the east bank, overlooking a pool in the river between the bridge and a small weir.

Not so good spot for lunch, move on and find a better place

Really nice easy walk good on a warm day with shelter from the forests

When I visited on a sunny April day, the river here was full of a couple of families paddleboarding and swimming, looked like a nice wild swimming spot. There's a good clearing by the bank to set up on or take a rest too.

The Pingo Trail is an 8 mile hike around Thompson Common which takes in the delights of the ice age pools known as pingos. As the ground froze, water underneath froze to create little hills. When the ice melted the earth dropped back down and created the pingos. They are usually found in places such as Greenland and Alaska so it is an interesting and unique place to visit.

Thompson Common is an important habitat for wildlife, with dragonflies, damselflies, otters and pool frogs all in residence. The common is famous for its pingos, post glacial depressions that look like small ponds.

Rather grand country pub and hotel in a nice location in very scenic Hingham. Maybe somewhere to look at rather than stop at if you’re on a ride.

In 1604 the whole roof of All Saints church was carried away in a storm. In 1737 there was a restoration, with the nave walls being raised three feet. The chancel was re-roofed at a lower level than before, which left the east window in its ogee-gabled wall with nothing behind its upper tracery of 14th century reticulated pattern. It wasn’t until the beginning of the 20th century that the roof was restored to its full height. The church walls show many signs of old windows being blocked and new ones cut through in different places, and buttresses have been added. The tower is basically 12th century; in the 15th century an octagonal belfry replaced the earlier one. Near the top of the flint circular part is a band of stone and above that there are 19th century bricks inside, so maybe the belfry and parapet were restored then. On the west wall of the tower, at about ten feet high, is a slit window, with dressed stone for its frame and a single stone for its lintel, in which an arch is cut.
