11th August 2024 dawns bright and blue, but being a Sunday our bus service isn’t brilliant. Where to go? Ah, we’ll walk along Breydon wall (the estuary) as far as Burgh Castle where we’ll stop at the pub for a Sunday roast. Sorted. Let’s go.

As you can see, the tide is ebbing. And it looks like the train to Norwich is now leaving the station

The gates along here were in good repair until 2020 when it became an unofficial cycle track. But at least the cattle and horses no longer graze the bank

For me this little water pump is as iconic as the older windmills. The water collects here to be outed into the estuary

I love to see this, frogbit; it shows the water in these drains is pollution-free

It’s all good grazing for horses, cattle, and in some pastures, sheep

And having arrived at Burgh Castle, we’re ready for a cold drink and a hot meal. Hope you enjoyed. And yes, my leg did hold up (just)

Time was cattle would be driven all the way from Scotland to fatten up on our sweet lush grass before ending their days (alas) in London

It’s very rare for me to eat beef. Chicken’s my go-to meat, and seafood

It was, I agree. And it’s knee and hip, and yes, holding up but by end of walk, very sore. The roast beef etc was nice!

Yanno, I wrote ankle, pressed send and thought… Not the right place! But glad the roast beast was nice! Made the pain worth it, surely

Oh yes, definitely. And the rest of the week they do an interesting varied menu. So there might be more eating out to be done!

I don’t do much eating out. But this year we’re trying to include at least one meal every fortnight or so while on our walks

Thank you, Frank. Roast beef with all the trimmings. And it was excellent and reasonably priced. Highly recommend Queens Head, Burgh Castle 🙂
