West Stow Country Park ...

We had our afternoon walk today at this Country Park not far from Bury St Edmunds on a beautiful sunny day, not too hot with a cooling breeze under the trees, and around the huge Lake which you can see behind the trees above.

West Stow Anglo-Saxon Village & Country Park is one of England’s great archaeological sites, and has extensive indoor galleries and a stunning recreation of an Anglo-Saxon village surrounded by 125 acres of unspoilt countryside. West Stow Country Park features 125 acres of woods, heathlands, a river and a lake, plus nature trails, walks and an adventure playground.
Visitors to West Stow can explore history and nature, watch a film, dress up as an Anglo-Saxon or say hello to the rare breed pigs and chickens.
As part of the annual RingQuest event, you could even meet a Hobbit, among other Lord of the Rings characters!
If you are ever in Suffolk and in the area a very interesting place to visit with lovely walks!
