Still flooded in March 2024 but we managed to walk through with our waterproof boots

Stour river was flooded, so we had to make a detour towards the end.

The building you see, from the 16th century, was already mentioned in the Domesday Book. It's a manor house that has been extended and restored. This house held significant land properties.

Here we come across the Chevington Village Sign, which in this instance is placed on a horseshoe-shaped signpost. In the image, Abbot John de Norwold is depicted alongside the Chevington church in the background. It is also adorned with poppies, daisies, and ears of wheat.

This segment is the section of the Bury to Clare Walk that goes through Whepstead, when approximately one third of the total distance has already been completed.

Located not far from Whepstead's other church, St Petronilla, the chapel of this Baptist church was built in 1844. The building is grade II listed.

Apart from the building itself, this small church draws attention mainly for its name, St. Petronilla, being the only one in England dedicated to this saint. Although the building dates from the 13th century, over the centuries it has undergone adaptations.

In this corner, we can observe the village sign of Whepstead. Santa Petronila stands out at the top, as the Whepstead church is the only one in England dedicated to her.

If you pay attention, you'll notice an unusual Victorian postbox with its hinged letterbox on one side of the road.

Picturesque chocolate-box location standing above the wide village green.

The small Suffolk town of Clare is a delight to explore. It boasts independent shops, pubs, cafes, an historic Augustine priory and an 11th-century castle ruin, the centrepiece of Clare Castle Country Park. A hike up to the 60-foot (18 m) high castle motte rewards with great views across the town.

Clare Castle Country Park is a beautiful place to explore. Top billing goes to its Norman Castle and the 60-foot (18 m) motte, which you can ascend for lovely views of the small town. The disused Stour Valley Railway station houses a charming cafe, while the wildlife-rich River Stour flows by.

Great little place to stop for Coffee and Cake! Takeaway only.
