COUNTRY WALK MAPPING
Due to Ordnance Survey copyright restrictions and high licence fees, I am no longer able to display maps for walks. However, each walk description clearly describes the route and should be easy to follow. I recommend that you also take the relevant O.S. Explorer or Outdoor Leisure map, details of what sheet is required is detailed in the information section of each walk. However, the walks in the Railways series do have links to maps on the http://www.streetmap.co.uk website.
NOTE - The walks described on this website were surveyed, written up and published between 1995 and 2008. Since that time the routes and the conditions you find may have changed. Therefore the author accepts no responsiblity for any problems that may be encountered.
From 1995 to 2001 I produced a walk a week for publication in the Saturday edition of the Ipswich Evening Star newspaper. I have reproduced the maps that were published with the walks but unfortunately they are not always very clear. But details of the relevant OS map are provided in the Fact File for each walk.
In July 2001 I produced a series of walks from railway stations for Anglia Railways (later One Anglia and now National Express) for publication on their website. However National Express has subsequently removed the walks and they are no longer available. But they are all reproduced here complete with maps and route details.
This was a series of walks I undertook for the EADT Suffolk magazine between 2002 and 2008. Each month I visited an interesting location in the county for a walk off the beaten track. Maps were published in the magazine if you can find the relevant back copy, but in any case the descriptions should be clear enough to follow with the aid of the appropriate O.S. map.
This is a general page of about walking in Suffolk, Public Rights of Way, the so called Right to Roam and Healthy Walking information.
If you need any further advice, please send me feedback or an e-mail, I would be glad to hear from you.
There is also a link to the Country Code which I think should be used by everyone in
the countryside.
You will find details of my book 'RAF Plumber' and the previous book I produced, Suffolk Town Trails that I self published. Also my Suffolk Country Walks Books 1, 2, 3 and 4, produced for the Ipswich Evening Star. There is details of my book Best Tea Shop Walks in Suffolk, published nationally by Sigma Leisure. Unfortunately Suffolk Country Walks Book 1, 3 and 4 and Best Tea Shop Walks in Suffolk are no longer available. (Order Form for available books).
My book of town walks is Suffolk Town Trails and provides details of a walk in every town of Suffolk. It is available directly from me (Order Form) or for wholesale orders from Lucas Books.
I post pictures of Suffolk here, some of the many pictures I have taken on my walks and I would like to share them with you.
These links are mainly to sites describing other walks in Suffolk or general information about
rights of way and walking. If you have any good sites for me to add, please send the details.
I have also listed some other interesting and useful links which are added whenever I find them.
I joined the Royal Air Force as an Apprentice in 1953 and served for 30 years as an armourer. This is a photo record of my time at RAF Halton. I have also written a book about my 30 years in the RAF entitled 'RAF Plumber' published by Woodfield Publishing Ltd that can also be ordered directly from me by mail.
