Pillbox Walk – October 15th 2017
Alf Wright led a group of us on another pillbox walk in October. This one took in the pillboxes between Duton Hill and Great Easton, with a loop back through Tilty via the Abbey Field path. As with the previous walk, the route included pillboxes which we either had permission to view, or which were accessible from public footpaths.
The weather was good for the time of year, and there was a good turnout for the walk. We started at The Three Horseshoes, walked across the fields to the Chelmer, then followed the course of the river along to Great Easton.
Maps – and more photographs – can be seen below, and Alf’s report about pillboxes can be found on the website here:
