May 2, 2022,Stour Valley circular walk from Bures

Really nice walk, with lots to see, including a hillside dragon, which we hadn’t heard of before. Self-planned, you won’t find it in any walking guides. You don’t see much of the river from the Stour Valley Path, ironically! You cross at least one field with cattle, including a bull in it.
