something here for everyone. With no significant hills, the walking is never
demanding and invites a leisurely approach to the day. This title is a guide

Suffolk Walks (Ordnance Survey Pathfinder Guide),
Brian Conduit - Another in the classic Pathfinder Walks series, using Ordnance
Survey mapping. As in all titles in the series, each walk is accompanied by
colour mapping and clear directions, with full-colour photographs
throughout. The 28 walks are graded according to length and accompanied by
extensive information and advice for walkers. While Suffolk cannot boast the
natural features that give our highland regions their appeal, it offers
excellent walking in a predominately rural landscape. Suffolk also has a
varied coastline, extended by its network of rivers and the long estuaries
of the Blyth, Alde, Deben, Orwell and Stour. Coastal paths run along much of
the shoreline, providing fine walking with opportunities for birdwatching
and observing other wildlife. Although Suffolk's trees suffered badly in the
hurricane of 1987 as well as in subsequent storms, parts of the county
remain as lovely as when they were painted by Constable, Cotman or Crome.
Suffolk's is, of course, famous for its magnificent 'wool churches' and
attractive villages. Suffolk is also the starting point for one of the most
famous and ancient of Britain's thoroughfares - the Icknield Way. Starting
in the north of the county, it traverses 104 miles England, nearly a third
of it in Suffolk.
