These are some of our favourite spots and things to do locally.
Latitude in July is one of the many Arts festivals and events in the area, a gentle 4-mile cycle ride away.
Also close to home are the beaches of Southwold and Walberswick - good fun whatever time of year. Catch the ferry across the river and do both in one day!
One of our favourite wild swimming spots is just downstream from The Locks Inn at Geldeston. You can join the locals in jumping from the bridge (should you desire) or clamber down the bank and swim amongst the reeds and wildlife. Have lunch or a drink at the pub afterwards.
Possibly one of the best nurseries in the country, Woottens of Wenhaston is the place to go if you enjoy flowers and all things garden related.
Autumn is a lovely time to visit the Blythe Estuary, meandering down towards Walberswick. At the right time, you’ll be treated to a sighting of a murmuration of starlings in an area that’s not short of wildlife.
Orford Ness is a wild and mysterious place to explore, from Easter till late October. It’s accessible only by ferry boat, courtesy of the National Trust. Once you’ve visited the Ness, be sure to take in Pinney’s of Orford’s shop for wonderful seafood.
