Can't do better than quote the welcome from the Fox Inn's website, "Where the unique and wonderful gather to enjoy exquisite food and drink, spectacular music and a grand old time. It’s a place where laughter is not far away, where musicians and performers can play their craft and where new friends can become old friends over a glass of something wonderful." Quite a billing to live up too? You will find that the Fox Inn does so admirably. Add to this at 123m it is the highest point in Suffolk that you can buy a pint, with the county top itself (Great Wood Hill) only a few metres higher.

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.

The Fox is a lovely and friendly pub. I enjoyed a fine pint of Greene King IPA which wasn’t a difficult choice - I was weaned on this stuff! There were a few locals already inside when I arrived and in the immediate absence of the Landlady, it was they who let me in and welcomed me. Others were coming and going and the atmosphere really was that of a public house in the true sense. With the sun streaming in, and a nice fire in the corner, it would have been easy to have stayed for “the other one” or two.

In a serene spot on the outskirts of Balsham, the Church of Holy Trinity is a picturesque place of worship that dates to the 13th century. Boasting medieval stained glass in the north aisle, a 13th-century font, and fine examples of 15th-century choir stalls, the Grade I-listed church is well worth a visit.

Go to the rear of St Mary's churchyard and there is a dirt path that runs over an old railway bridge and you will end up at Bartlow Hills https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bartlow_Hills
