Having spent the night in Norwich, we had a whistle stop tour of Norwich (about 30 minutes long). There was some kind of festival going on (the annual Norwich and Norfolk Festival apparently). We then drove down to Ipswich for lunch with my cousin Helen. We went to the Last Anchor on the Marina. The restaurant didn’t look much from outside but the food was fabulous!

A great little place and highly recommended. We started the walk from the car park near to the village of Duddingston and headed up Jacob”s…
