The countryside is in the fantastic countryside of Suffolk, embedded in the midst of the vale of the River Stour. It's highly simple to find, just north of Sudbury, beside the A134 highway to Bury St Edmunds. From the South, go via the city of Sudbury. Long Melford is three miles to the North, bypassed by the A134 from a roundabout where you turn left for the countryside. From the North, from Bury St Edmunds, follow the A134 for 12 miles South towards Sudbury. Turn right on the A1092 as for Clare, and you're immediately in the countryside of Long Melford. At the Green, go on down the hill for the very heart of the countryside, rather than following the Clare highway to the right. There is a railway connection (London Liverpool Street station) to Sudbury changing trains at Marks Tey. Buses run roughly each thirty minutes from Sudbury to Long Melford. Bury St Edmunds also features a train station, connecting to Cambridge and Ipswich. Buses from Bury St Edmunds to Sudbury (or Colchester) go through Long Melford. The George and Dragon is in the very heart of the countryside, on the right hand side whether coming from Sudbury and on the left whether hiking from Bury St Edmunds.
