쉬운 스톨랑토프트 주변 하이킹 및 워킹 코스

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.

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.

The grundle becomes a running stream after wet weather but this can normally be navigated by crossing it and taking the upper path which has short steeper sections

Lovely setting, in a converted farm building by a small lake next to a caravan/motorhome campsite. 50m off the main road down a smooth and level gravel driveway. Indoor seating or outdoor picnic tables by the lake. Open 9.30am-4pm, Tue-Sat.

Grundle, Grindle, or Grendel? This amazing holloway near Stanton, is believed to be the lair of Grendel, the evil beasty of the Beowolf epic, written in Anglo Saxon times when the Wolf Kings ruled East Anglia. Its definitely a gateway to another world, sunk deep into the chalk, with steep sides and tree cover it does not feel like East Anglia at all. Great in Summer, river-like in Winter, but passable, with care.

Lovely picturesque village centre with a co-op, a tea room (10-4.30, closed Sun & Mon) and a fish & chip shop (lunchtimes and after 5pm, closed Sun).
