Bare earth south of Cresslands Farm There is actually an emerging crop coming through the gently sloping field. It's seen from a restricted byway which, some way to the north, past the farm, seems to lose that status, becoming simply a bridleway.

Depden village sign Depden is a haven for wildlife if the sign is anything to go by. The church is tucked away in the background and never seen by a passer-by due to its remoteness. The sign features a rather oversize fox who looks about to devour a horse and cart. A cock and hen pheasant survey the scene. The brown hare in the centre is looking butterflies in the blackberry flowers. Nearby a badger peers out of its sett at a hedgehog tucked away in the corner. Flanking the name is Depden windmill which used to stand on Depden Green many years ago and a notable former resident of Depden, Anthony Sparrow (1612-1685) who was Bishop of Exeter and later Bishop of Norwich. Since this image was taken the painting has been re-modelled and includes another badger, a wren and a robin but has lost the hedgehog. <a title="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/4192983" href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/4192983">Link</a> Incidentally Depden is the highest point in Suffolk, at 128m above sea level. It’s all downhill from here! <a title="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/4291801" href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/4291801">Link</a>
