Close
By
It's just a short stroll to the local award-winning Camra
pub with live entertainment most Friday nights. The village's
beautiful old church is well worth a visit and houses a Millennium
tapestry which actually features the 'Eco House'. Nearby are
the remains of a Benedictine Monastery. You can walk to Valley
Farm vineyard and buy their wine! It's a short cycle or car
ride to St Peter's Brewery. There's a fine restaurant there,
too.
Another
short bike ride (5 minutes by car) takes you to South Elmham
Hall and Batemans Barn. Guided tours are offered at the hall
and there's a restaurant in the barn serving light snacks
and amazing Sunday breakfasts. Afterwards you can stroll across
fields to the ruined Minster which was once part of the Bishop's
Palace.
In 30 minutes by car you can be in Southwold or Walberswick
or, in the opposite direction, the city of Norwich with its
many fine restaurants, entertainment and cultural activities.
The Broads can be accessed in Beccles (15 mins by car). The
charming market town of Halesworth is close by with its pedestrian
thoroughfare and many fine independent shops. The Cut Arts
Centre is located in the Old Maltings in Halesworth. Cinema,
theatre and the arts can be sampled here as well as pre-theatre
snacks and a good café and bar.
