Walking the Suffolk Coastal Path - Orford - Iken (Walk 7)

(Sunday 7th April. 3.5 miles. Route: Ferry Road Time taken 1hr 50min

Todays journey was all on country lanes. It made for easier walking but the scenery wasn't so interesting. Again it was agricultural with the occasion field of pigs. As I neared Iken I came across a house called Yarn Hall and also a hill with the same name. As I turned the corner at the bottom of the hill to head into Iken there was a sign with Yarn Hall Lincoln Reds. The Licoln Reds refer to a rare breed of cow which are reared at the farm. They have won various awards including the Red Crown at the Suffolk Show in 2023.

Iken is a quaint little village best known for St Boltoph's church which is surrounded on three sides by water.
