Griff Rhys-Jones visits Bures

 



COMEDIAN and TV presenter Griff Rhys-Jones visited Bures during June 2008, filming for his television new series.

Accompanied by a BBC crew and his labrador Cadbury, Griff recorded footage for the series "Rivers" which was televised on Sunday August 23rd 2009

The film crew were located down at Rushbanks Caravan site along the Nayland Road and the Scout Camp at Bures.

During the programme, Griff visited the Great Ouse on the Fens, the River Waveney on the Broads and finally coming down to the Stour.
Consequently, the River Stour journey only managed to get less than 15 minutes of air time. Griff launched at Sudbury Quay calling at Daws Hall before arriving at Bures.
Footage was taken at the Millennium Bridge then further along the river at the Mill Weir.

Griff then proceeded to Nayland, Flatford before ending his journey at Cattawade
