The next day we headed out on a walk starting in the town of
Polstead. The cottage where we are staying supplies an ordinance survey map of the area including all the public footpaths. Our host has been kind enough to draw on some circuit walks he recommends. Today's walk came particularly recommended as one of the most beautiful walks.
It started out pretty normally. We headed through a very muddy section and through the gate you see above. As we rounded the pond and noted the field we were to walk across we saw 3 bulls and abruptly stopped.
We backtracked through the marsh and decided to go "off-route" to avoid them at all costs.
We also noticed that our host randomly drew lines where no footpaths occurred and we spent a lot of time rummaging around in the bush trying to figure out where we were supposed to go. In the end we completely gave up.
Some snow drop flowers.
There were some nice bits we stopped at when we thought we knew where we were.
A road...nice and staightforward!
This pond was a landmark "with a trail", but no trail existed. It ended being a shorter walk than usual!
