Footpaths
One
of the enjoyable features of Pettistree as with most villages is the network
of footpaths. Pettistree has a good selection of accessible paths which as
well as giving you the ability to see the area in more intimate detail,
connects you to the paths of the bordering parishes. It is possible and easy
to create for yourself a couple of good circular walks, using paths and
minor country roads.
A
good place to start from is the Parish Church of St. Peter and St. Paul,
which with the Public House next door creates the typical English village
scene. As most people know, East Suffolk has very few hills just gentle
undulations making it ideal for good rambles.
In Spring and early Summer Yellow Hammers and Whitethroats are often your companion in the hedgerows with Blackcaps and Willow Warblers singing in copses and plantations. As early summer progresses Swifts, Swallows, and House Martins circle the clear broad East Anglian sky.
There are some fine houses in perfect settings and the pace of life is calm.
There
is much in Pettistree to delight the senses and using the footpaths will
enable you to make the most of it. So on with walking foot-ware and have a
treat, and the best of all it's free.
Please enjoy it.
