CR III Coronation Union Jack Mural

Highlight • Structure

From a distance I thought it was a huge flag but on closer view it’s an impressive union flag mural covering the end of the village hall with a CR III coronation crown mounted above. Only visible when heading northbound.

Presumably the other side of the roof has the other half of the flag? 🇬🇧🤔

Green Wolf Café

Lovely setting, in a converted farm building by a small lake next to a caravan/motorhome campsite. 50m off the main road down a smooth and level gravel driveway. Indoor seating or outdoor picnic tables by the lake. Open 9.30am-4pm, Tue-Sat.

Nowton Hill Viewpoint

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!
