Sunday Picture Post: Along the Chet Valley

Hooray, 4th March 2025 promises to be a dry sunny day. So it’s on with the shoes and off we go early, cos we’re heading to the very rural Chet Valley, and that’s two buses just to arrive at the start. Please do join us

The roads around here go around and around, scarcely straight for more than a few hundred yards

Last chance to see into the distance. Soon we’ll be into the valley and although the enclosing land isn’t high, still it gives an enclosed feeling

Catkins hang their golden tails all along the road, we many we begin to tire of them

The Wellbeck, tributary of the Chet

Our destination is Loddon where we’ll catch the bus back to Norwich, then another etc etc

Rural. Farmyards greet us around every corner

This route abounds with charming thatched houses and intriguing old barns

Bergh Apton churchyard. Churches usually provide a seat, which for hikers is most welcome

Rural often means abandoned for nature and weather to decompose. But rural also means materials that will decompose, unlike modern items left willynilly to trip the unwary

A walk of many animals!

I’ve taken many photos of this ‘barn’, it has such character. But today I’m sad to see the gate’s boarded up and the farm buildings deserted.

Sisland church. We sit on a seat in the churchyard, snowdrops nodding at our feet, and eat our packed lunch. Perfect.

Hope you enjoyed. Next week’s walk is as yet undecided. I’m hoping for primroses and other spring flowers. Please join us.

And don’t forget to check out Tuesday Treats for more photos from this walk
