Discover Bungay on The Suffolk Coast
The market town of Bungay has been the focus of this part of the Suffolk countryside since the Anglo-Saxons called the area home. It’s a town that has so much to recommend: scenic walking, good shopping, historic buildings, and of course the River Waveney that has been the lifeblood of the town over the centuries.
The unusual name of this market town is thought to have come from the Anglo Saxon title Bunincga-haye, which showed that the land once belonged to a Saxon chieftain from the tribe of Bonna. Other folklore linked to the area is the legend of Black Shuck or the black dog of Bungay who is said to have burst through the doors of St Mary’s church in Bungay in 1577, terrorising the residents of the town.
Bungay is also the only place in the UK to have a town Reeve; a senior official with local responsibilities under the crown- and a post made famous by Chaucer. The current person to hold the position in Bungay has responsibility for the market and various wills made to the settlement.
In 1688 Bungay was almost destroyed by fire, an event that devastated many families and destroyed many buildings. The fire did not however touch the Holy Trinity church and the door has a plaque with the words ‘Here was the fire stayed 1688’. The stylish rebuilding of the town, with its spacious marketplace, made it a popular place for people to visit and earned Bungay the nickname ‘Little London’. Famous visitors included George IV and even the highwayman Dick Turpin.

Places to see in ( Tipton - UK )
Tipton is a town in the borough of Sandwell, West Midlands, England, with a population of around 38,777 at the 2011 UK Census. Tipton is located about halfway between Birmingham and Wolverhampton. It is a part of the West Midlands conurbation and is a part of the Black Country.
Historically within Staffordshire, Tipton was an urban district until 1938, when it became a municipal borough. The vast majority of the Borough of Tipton was transferred into West Bromwich County Borough in 1966, although parts of the old borough were absorbed into an expanded Dudley borough and the newly created County Borough of Warley. Along with the rest of West Bromwich and Warley, Tipton became part of the Sandwell Metropolitan Borough in 1974 and remains within this local authority to this day.
Tipton was once one of the most heavily industrialised towns in the Black Country, with thousands of people employed in different sections of the town's industries, but most of its factories have closed since the 1970s and it has gradually developed into a commuter town occupied mostly by people working in other parts of the region.
The town of Tipton was originally called Tibintone and recorded as such in the Domesday Book, the oldest surviving public record that provides information about the 1086 Domesday survey. The present spelling of Tipton derives from the 16th century. Until the 18th century, Tipton was a collection of small hamlets. Industrial growth started in the town when ironstone and coal were discovered in the 1770s. A number of canals were built through the town and later railways, which greatly accelerated the pace of industrialisation.
Tipton has direct bus links with the towns of Dudley, Walsall, Birmingham, Wolverhampton, Sedgley, Coseley, West Bromwich, Oldbury, Smethwick, Bilston, Wednesbury and Darlaston, though not all buses reach the town centre. Tipton has a direct rail link with the areas of Wolverhampton, Birmingham, Coventry and from 14 December 2008 this now links to Walsall. There are two railway stations - Tipton in the town centre and Dudley Port. Both are on the electrified line from Birmingham New Street to Wolverhampton which is a section of the West Coast Main Line.

Bungay & Earsham 5 miler #Walk #Suffolk #Norfolk
The pretty village of Bungay in Suffolk is our start point for this 5 mile wander, which takes us over the Suffolk/Norfolk border criss-crossing the River Waveney in the process.
Romans, Saxons and Normans all left their mark here, notably the powerful Bigod family, whose recalcitrant descendant Hugh marched against the King several times before being subdued by Henry II, but not before building Bigod Castle, sadly this was closed to the public for renovations(and probably due to Covid19 as well) so we only got to see it from the outside.
So enjoy this characterful walk surrounded by lazily winding river views, forest scenes with fungi abound, and history round every corner.
