We loved coming back to your beautiful home. It is a very peaceful place for us and such a contrast to busy “work life”. I value the peace and quiet and fantastic space … and still having great facilities nearby (if needed). - See the coast (1 hr to Dunwich, Aldeburgh, Southwold, and Frinton for sand)
- Antique & junk shop hunting locally – Lavenham, Long Melford, Clare
- Visit National Trust properties: Ickworth House, Flatford Mill, Melford Hall, Sutton Hoo
Try our car-free planned itineraries to visit nearby medieval villages - Lavenham, Kersey, Long Melford and Constable Country, or boat down the Stour
Painting in local pretty medieval villages and churches – Kersey, Monks Eleigh, Cavendish

Riding:
Ask us for a list of local riding schools. Investigate and make your own decisions!
Golf:
Ask us for a list of local golf courses – several nearby.
Off-road cycling in Thetford Forest:
