Lovely rolling gravel road through Forest

The Pumphouse Route is one of several excellent trails that wind through the West Stow Country Park and Lackford Lakes. The route passes by the Pumphouse, a Grade II listed building that once served as a sewage works during the early to mid-20th century.

Located near Bury St Edmunds, King's Forest was named to commemorate the Silver Jubilee of King George V and Queen Mary. Along with being home to fallow deer, the chalky soil supports a prolific flower population including Wild Thyme, Bird's Foot Trefoil and numerous butterflies, such as Dingy Skipper and Brown Argus - a joy for any nature lover at any time of the year.

This wood is ideal if you enjoy peaceful running surrounded by nature and well-defined trails. It's a woodland dominated by mature pines and oaks, but also features recently planted conifers. Around you will also find Dale Pond – if you're a fan of dragonflies, this is your spot. There's a 2.5 miles circuit called the Yellow Walk, which starts and ends at the car park.

This pumphouse operated until 1953. Its main function was to circulate sewage around the various lakes.

West Stow is more than just an outdoor museum; it's also an archaeological site, as it occupies the location of one of the earliest Anglo-Saxon villages, which was inhabited between 420 and 650 AD. Currently, there is a recreation of this village where you can engage in a variety of fun and interesting activities.

This lake will be the first one you see upon arriving in the area near the visitor center. It's the largest in terms of surface area, and numerous water activities such as sailing or canoeing take place on it. The trail that runs along the side of the lake offers excellent views at some points.

In addition to being able to grab something to eat or drink, at this center, you can get information to make the most of your visit to Lackford Lakes. They also have a shop where you can even rent binoculars if you've left yours at home. Remember that dogs are only allowed on the red trail and must be on a leash; guide dogs are the only ones allowed on the other trails and in the center.
