The second oldest sheep wash bridge in the Uk

This is a former MoD airfield also known as the Flying Field. Number 38 Squadron used Thurgarton during WW1 until 1918.

This might be the base for a haulage business or wagon trailors might simply be parked up for storage here. Big new farm storage sheds are located here also

There are plenty of these large country modern small holdings in this trail area. Most seem to have horses and nice gardens

A big roomy pup and grill, the Magna Charta has a big car park, it is easy to access from the main road. It looks like it will get busy serving meals

An unusual survivor, with extensive construction, thought to be the second-oldest surviving in Britain, dating from the late 17th century. Sheep washing was performed in early summer to clean the winter accumulation of grease, etc., in the fleece, and pre-dated the practice of sheep-dipping which was a pest-control measure. Many such washes would simply be a dam in a stream, but at Thurgarton a 'pulpit' was provided in the middle of the stream for the man doing the washing so that he did not have to stand in the water.

The bridleway on the way up was unridable in early March 2022, should be good when things dry up a bit. The way down was better, not ideal though.

Love this stretch of road. Flat, hardly any cars. Very nice indeed 👌🏻
