A Walk to the Hoxne Swan, and the Royal Hospital School, Holbrook - 6th April 2025

Fred's off to his Suffolk Youth Wind Band residential, which this year as moved from Framlingham College to the Royal Hospital School in Holbrook, a few miles south of Ipswich. The school was built in the 1930s in order to re-locate the original school, which had been founded in Greenwich in 1712. Later on, we head off for another pub walk, this time to the Swan in Hoxne. In order to make it a bit shorter than that usual ten miles or so, we first cycle up to the village hall and leave our bikes there.
