Parked just off the main street in Culford which is now well known for its public preparatory school in the grounds of the former home of the Marquis of Cornwallis. Cornwallis being the Commander who surrendered British forces at York Town in the war of independence
I immediately set off into the grounds of the school past St Mary's Church.
I stopped briefly at the back of Culford Hall before following a path named the David Anderson Way which led through some trees to the back of Culford Hall.
I continued past the lovely cricket ground and down to the River Lark and another visit to the Cornwallis Bridge.
Actually I am not sure what it is called but I have read that this was built under Cornwallis direction using an old cannon from a battle in India when he was the Governor General.
Back round past the front of the hall and then along the main road in Culford for another 20 minutes.

Nice pictures, as always. I hope you're not getting swept away by floods at the moment.
ReplyDeleteThanks Thomas, we are fairly lucky and there are no floods here in Bury though there has been problems elsewhere in the county.
ReplyDeleteI love the photos of Culford Hall. It really is a magnificent building.
