Need a Market Walk? (6/8/24)

Bob and I took the train today for a quick 25 minute ride to Needham Market to walk around the lake on a path we had seen from the train when we went to Ipswich and then check out the high street. See photos below from our short visit.

We snapped a couple of pubs on the high street and popped into an old church and cute hotel.
