Highlight • Viewpoint

Expansive views south and east at the top of the climb up from the valley of the River Lark. Enjoy the sharp drop down towards Hawstead or the shallower descent towards Bury.

Hawstead Almshouses

Highlight • Historical Site

Grand and impressive almshouses that according to the sign were erected in 1811 “for the aged and deserving poor”. If it wasn’t for the sign you’d think it was a country mansion. They don’t make social housing like this anymore!
