Short breaks to Suffolk by train

1. Woodbridge
Nestled on the River Deben, Woodbridge is a lively riverside town in the eastern part of Suffolk. It’s home to one of the oldest working tide mill in the country and Sutton Hoo (National Trust), which plays host to, quite possibly, one of the greatest Anglo-Saxon discoveries of all time. Take an amble through the town’s thoroughfare and spot on-trend coffee houses or indulge in tasty bites at one of its many stylish restaurants, after a busy day sightseeing or shopping some of the town's unique fashion brands (Homespun, Fanny & Franks or Shop at Anna, to name but a few!)

2. Ipswich

3. Bury St Edmunds

4. Newmarket
Not the most obvious place to holiday in Suffolk, but you’d be surprised at what’s on offer in this bustling market town. Newmarket is home to one of the country’s, and indeed the world’s, most engaging sports – horseracing. In the 1600s King Charles II selected Newmarket Heath as the perfect spot to pursue his love of the sport, and this deep-rooted interest has led to a new museum in its honour: Heritage Centre for Horseracing and British Sporting Art at Palace House. Go behind the scenes of sporting legends, visit the museum, spend a day at the races or simply escape to one of Suffolk’s most heavenly spas at The Spa at Bedford Lodge Hotel. To completely immerse yourself in horseracing history, stay at the Jockey Club Rooms – a private members club at the heart of the action.
