  amib, Nov-24

  Another visit to the 'Gainsborough Line', on the Suffolk/Essex borders, on a dreary, chill November afternoon.

  This time, the walk is done in reverse and the mid-section is different, making for a walk of around 9.5 miles (though it would be a similar 10 mile length to the main walk, if the GPX track is followed faithfully).

  Lunch is had at the conveniently-located church at Middleton, All Saints, which is just off the GPX track.

  Thereafter, the walking is along quiet country lanes to Henny Street, which has a pleasant pub and garden next to the River Stour.

  St Mary's church at Great Henny is reached soon after, meaning re-joining the GPX track.

  However, this walker chose to follow some more country lanes (a useful option on this walk) after Loshes Nature Reserve to avoid the Pylon run and marshy ground, albeit one of the lanes was quite damp.

  Bures is reached just before sun-set, though no sun was seen today, just grey clouds.

  A good winter walk due to the option of following quiet lanes, and other good paths. This walker preferred this version to the 'main' walk.

  A return to the Essex/Suffolk border for this update of a 10 mile walk last undertaken in November 2009, and filmed on a mobile phone.

  The weather today was excellent for walking, being sunny, clear and with a cooling ENE breeze.

  The walker is on the Stour Valley Path upon leaving Bures station, and stays on it, or the St Edmund Way, for much of the walk.

  Lunch is had at St Mary The Virgin church, Great Henney, and, shortly after, a couple of Nightingales are heard singing. A lovely surprise!

  Bulmer Tye is bypassed, and due to some train cancellations, so were the Sudbury Common Lands towards the end (the future plan would be to do this walk from Sudbury to Bures, via Henney Street, to include the Commons and for a different perspective).

  A very pleasant walk, which had been totally forgotten, on a wonderful June afternoon. There were some pretty bad vegetation issues around Loshes Meadow Nature Reserve, and one or two other areas, which have been reported on W3W.

  A delightful 10 mile walk through the Stour Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Following the Stour Valley Walk, the path crosses the Sudbury Common Lands, where Gainsborough played, and is the oldest continously grazed pastoral lands in East Anglia.
