Chestnut Spinney is a charming wood situated in the county of Suffolk, England. Spanning approximately 20 acres, this forested area is a haven for nature enthusiasts and those seeking tranquility amidst the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

The wood derives its name from the abundance of chestnut trees that populate the area, creating a picturesque landscape throughout the seasons. In spring, the forest floor is carpeted with vibrant bluebells, adding a touch of color to the otherwise green surroundings. During autumn, the chestnut trees shed their leaves, painting the forest in warm hues of orange and brown.

The diverse range of flora and fauna found within Chestnut Spinney makes it a hub for biodiversity. It is home to various bird species, including woodpeckers and owls, which can often be heard echoing through the trees. Squirrels scamper amongst the branches, collecting nuts and acorns, while rabbits and foxes can be spotted darting between the undergrowth.

The wood offers a network of walking trails, allowing visitors to explore its beauty at their own pace. These paths wind through sun-dappled clearings and alongside babbling brooks, providing a serene atmosphere for leisurely strolls or family picnics. Additionally, there are designated areas for camping and barbecues, making it an ideal spot for outdoor enthusiasts to spend a night under the stars.

Chestnut Spinney, with its natural charm and peaceful ambiance, serves as a cherished escape for locals and visitors alike, offering a respite from the demands of modern life and a chance to immerse oneself in the beauty of nature.

Almshouses on Bentley Lane, Stutton These dwellings are right on the north-west edge of the village and just inside this square. On the day of the photograph, they were bright with flowers and looking well-kempt. The chimneys are particularly splendid, suggesting expense was not spared in the construction of these almshouses.

Smart new entrance to Roundwood Farm Right next to a bridle way, this seems to be a new access to Roundwood Farm, which is shown on the map as further north-west. Not a cheap sign but a smart piece of stone lettering!
