Great little stop off point. Great food and lovely beer 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.

Nayland is a characterful Suffolk village in the Dedham Vale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. With its 15-century buildings, timber-framed houses and the pretty St James Church, there's a lot to admire. The church is home to 'Christ Blessing the Bread and Wine', one of John Constable's famous paintings.

The 16th-century Kentwell Hall is a stately home in Long Melford and one of the finest moated Tudor Houses in the country. Surrounded by beautiful parkland and gardens, it's a wonderful sight to behold. The hall has been used many times for film and television and also hosts weddings, historical re-enactments and other events. It’s open to the public all year round, though you’ll need to buy a ticket to enter.

The cathedral-esque Holy Trinity Church in Long Melford is a sight to behold. Grade I-listed, it was funded by the region's prosperous wool trade and built between 1467 and 1497 in the late Perpendicular Gothic style. Thought by many to be one of the finest religious buildings in the country, a visit is a must when hiking in the area.

Start from castle car park.

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!
