Upper Kennett and Stour valleys, SuffolkFriday last week was one of the longest mapping days I'd done - folding bike on the bus to Newmarket, then along the upper reaches of the Suffolk river Kennett and down the Stour, mapping the following villages on the western edge of Suffolk bordering on the Eastern edge of Cambridgeshire I completed in the previous two weeks. Then bus back from Haverhill. Over 90km on the bike, but a beautiful day to be out and some delightful villages en route.
So, added 10 villages (ok, pretty small ones on the whole) and several hamlets:
- Moulton (ancient pack horse bridge)
- Gazeley
- Dalham (did they have to put the church on its own at the top of a 1km dead-end climb!)
- Lidgate (lovely duck pond!)
- Cowlinge (and its satellites: Hobbles Green, Mill Green and Lambfair Green)
- Great Bradley
- Little Bradley
- Great Thurlow
- Little Thurlow
- Great Wratting (though turned out to be mostly done - but added the huge factory and Stour river bridge)
(the tiny Little Wratting was completely done already, only the name of the church to add).
