ホーステッドのおすすめツーリングルート

official starting point Stour Valley Path

It's a vast, scenic estate to cycle through, mostly on compacted, dusty gravel, but there are chunkier bits in some parts. Entering through Horringer and exiting via Chevington worked for me.

Entree 14 pond.

Lovely clock tower with stained glass windows

Impressive, vast estate. From the entrance, you'll notice that this is something special—an amazing building and surrounding gardens, with gift shop and cafes which close at 4 pm. Around the estate, you'll have kilometre after kilometre of woods with every turn displaying a different scenery. You'll have ups and downs of roads very good for hiking and a sweaty cardio. Before you enter, though, please be aware that non-members will pay a reduced entrance fee of 10 quid per person after 3.30 pm. I have no idea what the full rate is.

The original residence of the Marquess of Bristol, Ickworth House, became property of the National Trust in 1998. In elegant neoclassical style, Ickworth House is a key part of the Ickworth Estate, and a wonderful part of a day out in Suffolk.

The River Linnet rises in the Ickworth Estate. A chalk stream at only 10km long, it runs into the River Lark. The National Trust are working to improve opportunities for wildlife to flourish along the river.
