Day 13 to 14 Thorpness

Dunwich beach
Woke to less wind and a cloudless blue sky. Parked up in Minsmere Heath and set off on the bikes to Dunwich village. Returning via the marshes on the boardwalk which Ross managed to ride off into the marsh bog. Had tea and the best scone yet in Dunwich village. Went and booked a game of golf at Thorpness GC for the following day.
Through the marshes
Found a nice site on the edge of Aldeburgh, but for a whopping £28 per night, and walked into the town. What a lovely place, although three streets have disappeared into the sea since Tudor times. This is the best place yet.

Aldeburgh Tudor Moot Hall



Sunny, hot and windless morning, so walked the rottweiler on the beach and then sat out reading till eleven. booked the pitch for another night and went back to Thorpness for golf. A quality heathland course where Paula scored 33 pts and Ross a lowly 29.


The famous "House in the Clouds"
Took tea and cake at the Meare and walked around this fascinating  village (felt like Portmerion) built by Glencairn Stuart Ogilvie when he inherited the family estate in the early 1900's.

Biked into Aldeburgh to the Skye Furnace recommended Chippy for a take away, and joined the queue on the pavement.
