Sixteen of us (plus one very well behaved dog) enjoyed a ten-mile walk from Dunwich on a sunny but chilly day.
We passed by the remains of the Franciscan friary, the coastguard cottages, and Minsmere nature reserve with a detour to view the artwork in the remains of a chapel in the middle of a field.
The route included a variety of scenery including pebbly beach, sandy heathland and shaded woodland.
The Eels Foot pub in Eastbridge provided a comfortable stop for lunch.
An unexpected topic of conversation arose on Westleton Heath after lunch – apparently gorse flowers smell like coconuts…
The day was finished off with a sociable drink in the beer garden at the Ship pub.
