The best that the town has to offer - with its tranquil riverside locations and bustling neighbourhoods both new and old - was captured by local photographer Martyn Smith.

Originally from west Yorkshire, Martyn moved to Sudbury with his parents and brother when he was just seven years old.

He started flying remote controlled helicopters around five years ago and then progressed to a small drone.

His current drone is a DJI Phantom 2 which has the camera on it.

These pictures were taken over the Springlands area, the River Stour and the area towards Henny.

Many thanks to Martyn for allowing us to feature his work. We will be showing you more of Martyn’s pictures and videos on Enjoy Sudbury More.
