Kersey Ford

Highlight • Bridge

Very pretty Suffolk village.
Extreme caution if you’re thinking of riding through the ford, it gets very slippery. My advice is to use the foot bridge!

Wash Lane Ford

Highlight • Structure

About 15cm deep when I went through.

If you don't want to splash through there is a footway alternative which avoids the water.

Tip by

The name Polstead means place by the pool. The benches by the village pond are a great spot to rest and enjoy the peace of a classic Suffolk village, surrounded by history, and picture perfect timber-framed and thatched cottages.
