アルパムストーン周辺のアトラクション＆必見スポット - トップ20

Spring is a great time to visit with carpets of bluebells and wild garlic, beautiful smells

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.

Wormingford is a pretty and historic village in the Dedham Vale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). Its St Andrew's Church is Grade I-listed and has been serving the parish since the 12th century, while there have been many Neolithic discoveries made in the surrounding countryside. You can refuel at the Crown pub and restaurant.

This beautiful footpath occupies what was once the railway between Sudbury and Cambridge. Both the Stour Valley Path and St Edmund Way long-distance trails make use of this section, which takes you across Sudbury riverside meadows. The meadows are a delight all year round but are at their most colourful during spring.

Small car park so arrive early at peak times Bluebells are spectacular at the end of April/early May Gets very muddy during periods of rain or in the winter, so come prepared

Start from castle car park.

Old St Mary's Church is a Grade I-listed parish in pretty countryside on the outskirts of West Bergholt. The oldest part of the church dates to the year 1000 but the church was extended and developed during the 14th century. The church was made redundant in the 1970s and survives as a time capsule today.

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!
