Our Pub to Pub Walk

The Crown, Bildeston to The Lindsey Rose

Nedging Hall Estate is a family-owned country estate in Suffolk. The Estate comprises of pubs, country houses and a brewery. The Bildeston Crown and The Lindsey Rose form part of the Nedging Hall Estate collection. They're approximately three miles apart with beautiful Suffolk countryside between them. It makes for a wonderful walk.

Duration: 1 hour 50 minutes 

Distance: 3 miles (5km) 

Terrain:  

• Some sections of trail can be muddy & uneven – 1 mile of the walk 

Directions: 

1. Stepping out of The Crown take a right turn onto the High Street 

2. Upon reaching The Bildeston Clock Tower in the central Market Place, take a left turn just before onto Chapel Street 

3. Follow the road and at its end take a left turn onto Church Road 

4. Continue to follow the road until St Mary Magdelene Church is reached 

5. After just passing the Church a farmer’s field with a wide grass path should be visible to the left – follow along the field’s grassy path (there's a hidden footpath sign tucked behind the hedge)

6. Continue in a southerly direction passing through a small cluster of trees into another farmer’s field (with a footpath sign) which leads downhill to Chelsworth 

7. Upon reaching Chelsworth take a right turn to reach the village – marked by The Peacock Inn. You'll walk along a small section of road with no pavement - take care.

8. Take a left passing over the small beautiful bridge opposite The Peacock Inn  

9. Follow the road up the hill and past the farm 

10. After passing through the trees, reaching a junction, stay on the road veering to the right 

11. Follow the road around to the left and up the hill  

12. At the cross-junction pass straight over - you're nearly there!

13. Continue to follow the road indicated by The Lindsey Rose sign  

14. Continue through Lindsey, and The Lindsey Rose will be to the left. You deserve a beer!

Retrace your steps to return to The Crown - just don't have too much to drink that you forget where you're heading!
