Good Coffee ☕️

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

Now relocated around the corner to larger premises on the High Street. No cycle parking out front but they have a back garden and they're happy for cyclists (even a group of 10!) to wheel your bike through the cafe to the garden.

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.

Straddling the beautiful River Stour – and therefore both Suffolk and Essex too – Bures a lovely village. Its medieval church of St Mary the Virgin is a fine sight. Walkers can refuel at one of two pubs – the Three Horseshoes or the Eight Bells – and find accommodation at the Old Manse B&B.

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.

Bike-friendly artisan village bakery and cafe with seating. Amazing cinnamon buns. Open til 3.30 (3pm Sundays); closed Mon & Tue.

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
