  • Little Japan and Barber’S Point Through the Trees
    Heritage, Heath & Hedgerow Historic nature walks with Aldeburgh Museum The Sailor’s Path is a well-worn route, initially used by seafarers, smugglers and fisherman. The full 6 mile route runs from Aldeburgh to Snape and offers a fascinating view of the picturesque River Alde. This walk, at 2.5 miles, offers an introduction to the route. This walk starts in the car park at the Aldeburgh end of the Sailor’s path. The route is well signposted. The patch of land behind the signpost, was used by the Royal Flying Corps in World War 1. They created a small single track railway to transport goods from their airbase at Hazlewood Hall across this patch of land to the Brick Dock jetty on the river. Notice the creeping buttercup along the edge of the path. Arriving at the open field to the left is a good viewpoint to see Yarn Hill which is other side of the river. It is said that St Botolph (Anglo-Saxon Saint of Travellers) wanted to build Iken church here but found it full of eerie and ghostly happenings and changed the church location to where it is today. Splendid yellow gorse in full flower is evident along the path and throughout the Suffolk coast. Less commonly named Furze or Whin, it has an almond/coconut like scent and is very prickly! It is an important nectar source for bees in Spring when few flowers have bloomed. The sad, dead trees to the left of the path before Marsh Cottage are evidence of the breach in the river wall and consequently the flooding of the Hazlewood marshes in 2013.

  • CFE County Priorities for Suffolk
    CFE County Priorities for Suffolk 1. Aim This document has been drawn together by the CFE Local Liaison Group for Suffolk with input from all LLG members and their respective organisations. The aim is to ensure that all advisers and partners have a clear, concise and consistent message about the aims of CFE in Suffolk that can be used by farmers and landowners to ensure their actions deliver maximum benefit to the environment. The action undertaken on each farm may differ depending on the farm type and enterprise. 2. County Overview Suffolk has 6 broad landscape characters. In the west of the county around Newmarket is the northern tip of the East Anglian chalk ridge. In this area large rectangular grass fields are surrounded by fences and shelter belts to protect the horses on the stud farms associated with this area. Adjoining the NE edge of the East Anglia chalk are the Brecklands (Brecks), where sandy soils prevail on top of underlying chalk geology. One of the driest areas in England, the Brecks sit on a gentle but distinct plateau and soils are at high risk from wind-blow and late frosts. This climate and the free-draining sandy soils support dry heath and grassland communities with a rich and distinct wildlife. Over two-thirds of the land area is cultivated for cereals and vegetable production. Outdoor pigs are also farmed on these sandy soils and indoor poultry rearing is relatively common. Vast conifer plantations predominantly of Scots and Corsican pine are found in Thetford forest, with a shift towards broadleaf planting occurring.

  • The Alde and Ore Association
    THE ALDE AND ORE ASSOCIATION Charity No 1064789 The Association exists to preserve for the Public benefit the Alde, Ore and Butley Creek rivers and their banks from Shingle Street to their tidal limits and such of the land adjoining them or upstream as may be considered to affect them, together with the features of beauty and or historic or public interest in that area _________________________________________________________________________________________ FRAMEWORK FOR THE FUTURE 1 Introduction The Government is currently addressing policies for the future management of coastal areas including the three Suffolk Estuaries (Blyth, Alde and Ore and Deben). If the proposals originally published for the Blyth Estuary were to be applied to the Alde and Ore, this would result in the sea and river walls being left to deteriorate and ultimately breached. In this discussion paper the Alde and Ore Association, which represents all those who use and enjoy the Alde and Ore Estuary from landowners, residents, visitors, to those with commercial interests, sporting bodies including sailing and yacht clubs, wildfowlers, golf and fishing clubs, put forward proposals for a more environmentally and economically effective management scheme for the Alde and Ore Estuary. 2 Background Our sea and river defences have rarely been breached. After the exceptional floods of 1953, the sea and river defences were raised and strengthened, and remain today of paramount importance to the economy of the Alde and Ore Estuary area. The estuary itself is designated for both national and international habitat and conservation protection. It is also used extensively both for leisure and business. It also includes the world famous Snape Maltings, the home of the Aldeburgh Music Festival, which has recently attracted extensive public and private funding in order that it may be become a national centre of excellence for the professional development of musicians.
