Out & about in Suffolk
This is a bunch of our favourite things to do, or places to visit when on holiday in Suffolk.
We are often asked to recommend pubs, walks, beaches, places for afternoon tea etc, so we’ve pulled a whole load of our favourites together into one place. Effectively this page will give you enough to keep you occupied for your whole stay, whether it’s on one of our Barges, or in our Barns or Cottages.
Some of the things listed are nearer to one or the other. As we have a little 30-minute ‘Bermuda triangle’ of amazing places to visit between the Barns and both Barges, and you’re on holiday in Suffolk, then they are all doable wherever you are.
