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.
