Waypoint 4 - At the crinkle-crankle wall (a serpentine of wavy wall) turn right and follow the road into Easton village. The area of relatively modern housing on your left behind the wall is where Easton Hall would have been. The White Horse pub at Easton is a very good place to take refreshments before continuing your journey along the Deben valley towards Wickham Market. Go over the River Deben again, then continue up the road leaving the river behind. Take the second small road to the right after the bridge, which will again bring you to the B1078 close to Wickham Market. Waypoint 5 - Cross the B1078 road to go along Thong Hall Road, just a short distance along the road is Gelham Hall. A 17th Century house and dairy that has been combined to be one large dwelling. In 1300s the earlier Hall was owned by the De Ufford family before it was transferred to Abbey. At the crossroads turn right towards Dallinghoo and Bredfield to once again enjoy quieter county lanes. After passing through California, just a small group of houses, bear right at the junction to enter the village of Dallinghoo. Continue towards Bredfield, eventually coming to a T-junction with a red brick wall on your right-hand side. Behind this wall is Dallinghoo Hall, built in the mid to late 18th Century around an older core. At the T-junction turn left towards Bredfield and Woodbridge. Way point 6 - Continue into and through Bredfield village, at the end of the road you will find the ornate signpost over the village pump, this was created by the local blacksmith. Turn right at the pump then immediately left along the lane signed towards Hasketon. Just after the sharp left bend Hall and Church are a short distance across the fields to your right. A small detour along the road at this bend will take you to St Michael’s church to see the wonderful setting and the resting place of the Fitzgerald family who lived in the nearby Boulge Hall. Sadly, the Hall was demolished in 1955. The route continues along the road towards Hasketon. Enjoy the final downhill slope to Hasketon, turning right at the bottom of Boulge road into Low road and back to the friendly hospitality Created by www.skyestrolls.co.uk of the Turks Head pub.
