Kids will love the masses of things to do at Southwold Maize Maze. Apart from its convenient location on the outskirts of the popular seaside town of Southwold, you can expect plenty of outdoor fun. From go-karts, jumping pillows, zip lines, climbing towers and ride-on-pedal tractors, and of course, the mazes themselves (one big, one small) – it’s the perfect family day out, one where the kids won’t want to leave.

Mill Hill Farm is a quiet, friendly, family owned campsite nestled in the heart of the beautiful Suffolk countryside and close to the Suffolk Coast, with RSPB Minsmere (home to Springwatch in 2016) just 2.5 miles away. With miles and miles of quiet country lanes, it makes walking or cycling truly relaxing. Close to recognised seaside locations such as Southwold and Aldeburgh, this is the perfect spot to explore Suffolk’s heritage coastline.

Africa Alive! is part of the "Zoological Society of East Anglia” (ZSEA), a charitable trust since 2013, and which takes pride in delivering great customer service and a positive ethos around wildlife conservation and the environment.

This spring the park welcomes its newest arrivals: the red river hogs, in their brand-new enclosure “Hog Snorts”. And throughout 2019 there are lots of additional events planned and special appearances from children’s favourites including Peppa Pig, The Gruffalo, and Paw Patrol’s Chase & Marshall.

Overlooking a lake on a 300-acre farm, The Suffolk Escape offers a slice of Suffolk countryside that feels all yours. Select from a rather swish, modern holiday home (Sheepyard Barn) complete with indoor swimming pool and wood fired pizza oven, or adult-only, log-style cabins with hot tub. A great place to escape to and explore the surrounding countryside, coast and charming historic villages and towns such as Constable Country, the Suffolk Wool Towns and 50 miles of glorious coastline.

Alde Garden is a quirky, cosy campsite conveniently located near the Suffolk Coast, offering an eclectic range of rustic and a unique variety of accommodation, with charming outdoor facilities, an outdoor 'jungle' shower, as well as a handful of small tent pitches.

Only 2 hours from London by train, and a 20-minute drive from Suffolk’s diverse coastline – Alde Garden makes the perfect spot for a holiday, retreat or short break. It's simple, what you'll find here is the perfect antidote to a busy life.

Tuddenham Mill Hotel in Suffolk has never shied away from an award or two, and now their sous chef Jordan Bayes has been announced as a regional finalist in the prestigious 2019 Roux Scholarship, the annual competition which aims to find the best young Chef in Britain. Impressive? We think so. The food served at the hotel is an education and well thought-through, derived from their passion for everything food-related. If you’re thinking of a quick getaway, a night’s stay at one of the five stand-alone, pod-shaped nooks – one comes with wood-fired hot tub on the deck – is a good bet.
