デダムでののおすすめツーリングルート

This isn’t St Mary the Virgin Church, Dedham. This is St Mary the Virgin Church, East Bergholt. Well worth a visit.

There are several benches close to the water.

Beautiful view and a good place to spend time until the ferry departs.

If you still have time before the ferry departs, you can still enjoy a bit of beach and sea here. It's about 15 minutes by bike to the ferry terminal.

Whilst people have been worshipping on this spot for over 1,000 years, this beautiful church was originally built somewhere around 1350, nearly 700 years ago. It was originally designed with a tower in mind, but it was never completed. Legend says that every time the builders stopped for the night, the devil tore it down. Whatever happened, the five bells, considered the heaviest in England, are now housed in a bell cage and still rung before each service.

A pair of restored Victorian lighthouses, now prominent landmarks along the beach.

The best view of the upper part of Alton Water. A wide, fast descent to the bridge from either direction with a short climb out.

About 20m of the pier is now restored and open but that still leaves a lot left to do!

Actually probably one of the ugliest villages in a famously picturesque area: dominated by an estate of very un-scenic modern houses. About the best thing you could say is it's better than the A12.

A distinctive landmark with its strange mix of assorted materials and partially ruined state.

Lemons Hill Bridge crosses Alton Water and links the two parts of Tattingstone which were split when the reservoir was created. A great number of buildings were lost. In the north is the village pub, the White Horse, a lovely place to stop, while in the south is an 18th century workhouse and the parish church. If you are running through the village keep an eye out for the red phone box which is home to a collection of audio recordings of people who were impacted by the flooding of the area to make way for Alton Water.

Looking out across the end of the River Stour, past Shotley pier to Harwich International Port on the other side of the river.

Low and high tide Holbrook Creek have a very different feel, but both are equally beautiful. At low tide you can explore the rock pools and look for interesting pebbles and shells on the shore. You will rarely find many other people hiking here, despite its charm. A real Suffolk secret.

St, Mary the Virgin Church is unusual for a number of reasons - firstly there is a foundation, but no tower. In this case not because it collapsed, but because it never got built, falling foul of the reformation, the wealth of the parish was appropriated to the Crown, and East Bergholt's tower never got built. Another unusual site is the bell cage - built as a temporary structure in 1531, it has withstood the test of time and it houses the heaviest peal of 5 in the world.
