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.

The top element of Seven Tree Road is less pleasant when prolonged amounts of rain. Rutted from 4 x 4's. But with care, always ridable.

From Wikipedia, Deadman's Grave, Icklingham Deadman's Grave, Icklingham is a 127.3-hectare (315-acre) biological Site of Special Scientific Interest north-east of Icklingham in Suffolk. It is a Nature Conservation Review site, Grade I, and part of Breckland Special Area of Conservation and Breckland Special Protection Area under the European Union Directive on the Conservation of Wild Birds.

A track called Seven Tree Road runs through the site.

Occupies the site of the old abbey with a very scenic set-paved road taking you past the front.

Lovely spit for a coffee stop or lunch. If you're lucky you can pop into the cathedral and hear the choir practicing!

A bike lane runs behind it over the pavement to cut the roundabout if you want to.

The Jubilee Clock Tower is an impressive sight at the top of Newmarket High Street. Built in 1887 to commemorate Queen Victoria's Golden Jubilee.

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.

St Edmundsbury Cathedral originated in the 11th century and was rebuilt in the 12th and 16th centuries as a parish church, becoming a cathedral in 1914.

Built to commemorate Queen Victoria's Golden Jubilee in 1887, the Jubilee Clock Tower is a grand sight at the top of Newmarket's High Street. The Clock Tower is the official start point for the Stour Valley Path, a 63-mile (101 km) long-distance trail that ends at Cattawade on the Stour Estuary.

The church with almost 1000 years of history was part of the abbey and has been extended and rebuilt several times in its history.

The Newmarket Clock Tower is located at the top of the High Street. Local builder Richard Arber built it to commemorate Queen Victoria’s Golden Jubilee of 1887. The tower was paid for by public subscription, but local trainer Charles Blanton donated the clock made by Smith of Derby Group. The clock tower was officially opened in 1890. It takes 115 turns to fully wind the clock every week. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jubilee_clock#Newmarket)

St Edmundsbury Cathedral (formally entitled the Cathedral Church of St James and St Edmund) is the cathedral for the Church of England's Diocese of St Edmundsbury and Ipswich. It is the seat of the Bishop of St Edmundsbury and Ipswich and is in Bury St Edmunds in Suffolk. Originating in the 11th century, it was rebuilt in the 12th and 16th centuries as a parish church and became a cathedral in 1914; it has been considerably enlarged in recent decades. A church has stood on the site of the cathedral since at least 1065, when St Denis's Church was built within the precincts of Bury St Edmunds Abbey. In the early 12th century the Abbot, Anselm, had wanted to make a pilgrimage along the Way of St James to Santiago de Compostela. He was unsuccessful and instead rebuilt St Denis's and dedicated the new church to Saint James, which served as the parish church for the north side of Bury St Edmunds. Anselm was also responsible for building the abbey gate tower, known today as the Norman Tower, alongside St James's, which also served as the church's belfry and it continues in this function to the present day. The church is located about 200 yards from St Mary's Church, which is of a similar size. This church was largely rebuilt, starting in 1503, in the Perpendicular style by John Wastell, a master mason who also worked on King's College, Cambridge. Further alterations to the building were undertaken in the 18th and 19th centuries, notably a new chancel and a hammerbeam roof by George Gilbert Scott. When the Diocese of St Edmundsbury and Ipswich was created in 1914, St James's Church was made the cathedral. In 1959 Benjamin Britten wrote the Fanfare for St Edmundsbury for a "Pageant of Magna Carta" held in the cathedral grounds. From 1959 onwards there was renewed building work designed to transform the former parish church into a cathedral building. Between 1959 and 1970, the Victorian chancel was demolished and replaced with a new quire, a cloister was added on the west side; also transepts, a Lady chapel and a side chapel dedicated to St Edmund were built. The cathedral architect from 1943 to 1988 was Stephen Dykes Bower and he left £2 million for the completion of the cathedral. In the cathedral grounds a new choir school and visitor's centre, which were opened in 1990, were built by Dykes Bower's successor, Alan Rome. Work started on a Gothic revival style tower in 2000; funded by the Millennium Commission, the Stephen Dykes Bower Trust and others, the Millennium Tower was designed by Hugh Mathew, an associate of Dykes Bower. The 150 foot (46 metre) structure was built from 600,000 bricks and faced with Barnack and Clipsham stone. Its completion was officially celebrated on 22 July 2005. Further additions are the Chapel of the Transfiguration and the East Cloister, both completed in 2009, and the Crypt Treasury in 2012.

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.
