バッドウェルアッシュでののおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

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.

Grove Lane was created as a secondary route to RAF Shepherds Grove. Unusually wide for a country road it was made of strong concrete with underlying hardcore originating from city bomb sites. As you approach the road look to the left and you’ll see a row of bungalows, part of a larger development of pre-fabricated homes built for American service personnel. The British government had these built for the US air force in exchange for American tobacco.

If you spot anything interesting then you can add it to this monthly sightings board.

Top quality restaurant and cafe, with outdoor seating as well, especially welcome if you’re not dressed for dining. The farmers market every Saturday 9-1 is bountiful, when they have brunch items etc. Weds-Sat the renowned Wooster’s Bakery can be found here too.

Enjoy a coffee, lunch or just collect picnic goodies for later.

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