トッペスフィールドでののおすすめランニングルート

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.

A great resting spot on the village green at Castle Hedingham. There’s also a bench under the tree offering some shade.

Great view from the high ground above the old railway line (in the cutting hidden by the treeline) out across the valley of the Stour: standing in Essex, looking into Suffolk.

Start from castle car park.

Deep in the sticks, down narrow lanes with only the occasional vehicle.

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!

NE Essex at its most serene with this lovely, fast, little lane blast from village to village.
