Couldn’t find the dragon unfortunately. But still a nice walk

Brilliant pub with brilliant service

Bures Dragon is a striking natural landmark located on a hillside in Dedham Vale. It's a large earth sculpture created in the 1970s and symbolises the area's folklore.

Very busy although no bikes out front when I went past, but someone was parking their horse. 🐴

It's just a Greggs, and it is in Sudbury, but useful if you need a coffee and something sugary to eat. If you want to sit with your bikes, there are benches outside, a bit lower down the slope of the street.

Straddling the beautiful River Stour – and therefore both Suffolk and Essex too – Bures a lovely village. Its medieval church of St Mary the Virgin is a fine sight. Walkers can refuel at one of two pubs – the Three Horseshoes or the Eight Bells – and find accommodation at the Old Manse B&B.

The village of Lamarsh is surrounded by gorgeous rolling pastures and boasts an attractive, Grade I-listed church. Built in the 12th century, the Friends of Holy Innocents Church is a beautiful, ancient building. Hungry or thirsty walkers can find relief in the 14th-century Lamarsh Lion, which is known as 'the Painter's Pub' due to its associations with John Constable and Thomas Gainsborough.

Standing proud on the rolling hills to the west of the River Stour, St Mary's Church is a beautiful and secluded spot. Built in the 11th century, its spire is conspicious for many miles around. The Stour Valley and St Edmund Way long-distance footpaths both pass the church.
