The Clump, as it is commonly referred to, is characterized by its dense canopy of mixed broadleaf and conifer trees, creating a serene and tranquil atmosphere. The variety of tree species present in the woodland includes oak, birch, beech, and pine, adding to the biodiversity of the area.

Walking through the Clump, visitors can enjoy the sight of vibrant wildflowers carpeting the forest floor during spring and summer months. The woodland is also home to a diverse range of wildlife, including deer, squirrels, and a multitude of bird species.

Footpath Fornham Road to Bell Meadow This northern part of Bury St. Edmunds is divided up into a more or less rectangular grid by paved roads, unpaved roads, and footpaths. This footpath is opposite Avenue Approach so is presumably part of that grid.

Field at end of Layham Drive A 4 photo panorama. Between the trees on the left can be seen traffic leaving Bury St. Edmunds on Fornham Road. The line of trees at the back of the field traces the route of the River Lark.

A field with a letter box It is marked Priory Farm, but there is no sign of any human habitation - this is the field also seen in <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2564211">TL8565 : Field at end of Layham Drive</a>. On the other side of the road is the Priory Hotel. Actually the letterbox has appeared since the Google Street View camera passed by. The gate was intact at that time too.

River Lark passes under Tollgate bridge To the south west of this bridge the road is Fornham Road. To the north east it becomes Thetford Road. The river probably demarcates the border into the parish of Fornham. A public house one field nearer Bury is also called the Tollgate so clearly there used to be a gate on the main road around here. There is no trace of old stonework though.

Drain parallel to River Lark Under all that vegetation there is a so-called drain, running parallel to the river Lark. Actually there was no water in it at the time of the photograph.

Dirt track off Avenue Approach plus classic car A part of the rectangular grid in this part of Bury St. Edmunds, a further dirt track can be seen making a T junction at the end.

It's always a bonus to include a classic British car in the shot, such as this Triumph Herald convertible. But who installed such an awkward approach to the garage?
