Close By

The Garden House is a short stroll from our local pub, the 16th century Rumburgh Buck. The Buck is an award-winning CAMRA free house with a good reputation for home-cooked food. Typical entertainment at the Buck features live music and Rumburgh’s own Morris dancers. The village church is well worth a visit and has a Millennium tapestry depicting the houses in Rumburgh including the Eco-House. Nearby are Wissett Wines at Valley Farm Vineyard and St. Peter’s Brewery where you can buy Suffolk wines and beers. Also nearby is South Elmham Hall and Bateman’s Barn. Guided tours are offered at the hall and there is a restaurant serving light snacks and amazing Sunday brunches. Afterwards you can stroll across the fields to the ruined Minster which was once part of the Bishop’s Palace.

The charming market town of Halesworth is close by with its pedestrian thoroughfare and many fine independent shops, cafes and galleries. The Cut Arts Centre is located in the Old Maltings. Cinema, theatre, music and art can be sampled here as well as pre- theatre snacks and a café and bar. Halesworth also has its own golf club and fishing lakes. Both welcome day visitors. Horse riding is available at Mells Equestrian Centre just outside Halesworth and for those who wish to relax there is the Harmony Centre for Healing. There are aviation museums at nearby Holton and Flixton in recognition of the part played by the numerous Suffolk airbases during the Second World War.

In 30 minutes by car you can be by the sea in Southwold and Walberswick or at the Minsmere RSPB bird reserve. In the opposite direction is the city of Norwich with its thriving old medieval shopping streets, market, restaurants and castle. Just a 15 minute drive away takes you to Beccles and the Norfolk broads.
