12 miles of signposted footpaths crisscross the Thornham Hall estate near Eye, Suffolk. The Thornham Walks, as they are called, was the brainchild of the 8th Lord Henniker, who wanted his estate to be accessible to all, and to help educate people about natural history and ecology. The Walks take in a restored 19th century walled garden and a Victorian Gothic summerhouse.
