バードウェルのおすすめランニングルート

An unusual geographical feature where the stream at the bottom of this steep-sided ‘hollow’ has eroded the soft chalky ground. An enjoyable section of this route at any time of year.

This was the original route from Stanton to Bury St Edmunds. The wooded parts are home to thousands of Bluebells in late spring.

A poignant reminder of war. This makeshift memorial marks the site of a crashed Wellington in 1942. Further information is available online.

This area has mostly clay soil so can be sticky after we weather

Just off the nearby bridleway through part of the Eustan estate.

The grundle becomes a running stream after wet weather but this can normally be navigated by crossing it and taking the upper path which has short steeper sections

Pleasant, shady spot. Only a few meters from the road but the ground is grass/mud so not the easiest to access in road cleats unless in dry summer conditions.

Grundle, Grindle, or Grendel? This amazing holloway near Stanton, is believed to be the lair of Grendel, the evil beasty of the Beowolf epic, written in Anglo Saxon times when the Wolf Kings ruled East Anglia. Its definitely a gateway to another world, sunk deep into the chalk, with steep sides and tree cover it does not feel like East Anglia at all. Great in Summer, river-like in Winter, but passable, with care.
