A propos de ce titre

Synopsis

Suffolk's riverside meadows of the Stour valley remain as beautiful today as when Constable painted them two centuries ago. Similarly, the county's lonely expanses of estuarine marsh, which are a feature of the coast, have a quality that appeal to writers as well as artists. A walk through Flatford and East Bergholt passes one of Constable's most famous viewpoints, and Flatford Mill itself. There is a choice of coastal walks, including routes through Southwold, Shingle Street, Dingle Marshes, Thorpeness and the Shotley peninsula.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This new title from Crimson Publishing is 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.
