"The Perfect Lawn" - near Sudbourne, Suffolk

The light sandy soil in this area is ideal for growing lawn turf. They even manage to get the stripe effect of the perfect lawn!

Martello Tower near Aldeburgh

This is the most northerly Martello Tower built in England as part of the defences against a possible invasion by Napoleon. Invasion by the sea is now a greater problem, and the outer defence work of the tower has fallen victim to coastal erosion. The tower is owned by the Landmark Trust and is available for rent as a holiday house.

A walk to the River Alde, Suffolk

This photograph shows the track/public footpath that leads to Westrow Reach on the River Alde in Suffolk. Approximately 100m behind the photographer’s viewpoint is the unclassified road from which, at a right-angled bend, the track begins. Ahead the track turns off to Cowton Farm whilst the public footpath continues towards the river.

A walk to the River Alde, Suffolk

This photograph shows the public footpath that leads to Westrow Reach on the River Alde in Suffolk. Approximately 100m behind the photographer’s viewpoint is the point at which the track/public footpath divided, one branch (the track) leading north to Cowton Farm and this branch (the footpath) continuing on towards the river. The OS map records this as a track almost all the way to the river, however just a little further ahead the path becomes impassable to any vehicle except, perhaps, a bicycle.

Beyond the river are the Aldeburgh Marshes and in the far distance (look for the white dome standing just above the tree-line) is the Sizewell nuclear power station. In the distance, and to the right of the picture, are the outskirts of Aldeburgh
