July 22, 2022,River Deben Loop from Sutton

At mile 10 the footpath was non existent. Photo of post showing way ahead across a heavily planted field. Our only option was to walk along a busy road with no footpath. This was an unfortunate end to an otherwise splendid walk. Arriving in the Sutton Hoo exhibition was an unexpected bonus.
