With its wide open skies and rolling landscape, Suffolk is the driest county in England, so the weather can be less of a problem here than elsewhere.
Gently rolling countryside beckons visitors to escape the hustle and bustle of city life and discover the ancient woodlands and hedgerows of this beautiful part of East Anglia.
Easily accessible from London on the A12 and the Midlands on the A14, Suffolk is convenient for a week’s holiday or a short break. A County with so much history and varied landscape offers something for everyone, whether driving, cycling or walking.
The British Museum’s Sutton Hoo exhibition is outstanding and there is a selection of National Trust properties to say nothing of the lovely RHS gardens at Hyde Hall.
Nayland is one of the famous cloth towns of Suffolk, having possibly the finest collection of medieval timber-framed buildings in the Country, set in the rolling countryside typical of the Stour Valley made famous by John Constable.
The River Stour meanders through the Dedham Vale and can be explored on foot or by canoe right down to the sea at Manningtree, spotting wildlife all the way! The other ‘Heritage Villages’ of the area – Lavenham, Long Melford and Sudbury, with a thriving weekend open market, are all within a few minutes’ drive and the sandy beaches of stylish Frinton and lively Clacton are within easy driving distance.
Colchester is England’s oldest recorded Town and is famous for its destruction by Boudicea when the Romans occupied East Anglia. The Castle is a reminder of the city’s Norman ancestry. Colchester Zoo has a world-famous animal breeding programme and is well worth a visit by all the family, plus excellent shopping, theatre and indoor entertainment.
Travel a little further and you reach Southwold, home of Adnams famous ales or stylish Aldeburgh with the Benjamin Britten connection and Snape festival.
There’s a huge variety of excellent restaurants in the area, ranging from stylish French cuisine through honest pub English cooking and open-air bistros to local seafood on Mersea Island – Essex’s own tropical island in the sun!
Gladwins Farm offers a selection of cottages sleeping from 2 to 8 people, some have private hot tubs. Winners of the 2003 and 2006 Regional Self-Catering Holiday of the Year Award and 2007 Suffolk Self-Catering Holiday of the Year, their website maintains on-line availability so guests can check availability reliably from around the World.
