Walk the walls of a 12th-century castle and trace 800 years of history, from Norman earls to a Tudor queen.
Framlingham Castle is a Norman-era castle in the Suffolk market town of Framlingham, now looked after by English Heritage. Its curtain wall has thirteen towers and no central keep, and you can follow the wall-top walk right round the defences.

A Tudor mansion in Ipswich with period rooms and the biggest Gainsborough and Constable collection outside London.
Christchurch Mansion is a Tudor house in Christchurch Park, close to Ipswich town centre. Built on the site of a medieval priory, it has over 500 years of history.

A Grade I listed tide mill on the Suffolk riverside where the water wheel still turns and grinds flour.
Woodbridge Tide Mill is a rare tide mill that still grinds wholemeal flour, with a huge oak water wheel that you can often see turning. A mill has stood on this riverside site since medieval times, and the white-boarded building you visit today is Grade I listed. The mill itself is the exhibit, so you get a close look at the machinery as you go.
Tip: There's no parking at the mill itself, so use one of the pay and display car parks in Woodbridge, or walk from the station. Check the wheel turning times calendar before you go.

So happy with these lodges. They were spacious, clean and comfortable. Well equipped kitchen. The hot tub was lovely. The lodges were secluded due to the hedges that have been grown up. We will definitely be back.
Very well equiped lodges with all mod. cons.. The lodges are kept very clean by the staff.All the surrounding lawns and woods within the site are extremely wellmaintained by the staff.
Could not fault the accommodation. Stayed Monday to Friday, and very lucky with the weather. The hot tub was a added bonus.
Another excellent, relaxing stay at Heathside Lodges. Clean and very well kept accommodation set in lovely countryside. Handy shop on site, hot tub serviced daily. Friendly, helpful staff.
Lovely clean lodge, warm and comfortable. Lots of space.
Excellent lodge that was well maintained and in a wonderful location. Hot tub was great and the staff were very helpful. Highly recommended!
We stayed in Lodge 11, a Deben Premier. which was large and spacious. First impressions were excellent. Further inspection revealed many signs of wear and tear with grubby curtains, an oven that was dirty to the point of being unusable, dirty dishwasher and microwave interiors. The mattress on the main king size bed could also do with being replaced. Having said that the bed linens and towels were spotless. Overall the Lodge was OK but could really do with the internal fixtures and fitting being upgraded.
Great stay in a good location, would definitely stay again but desperately needs new sofa to replace the one with broken seat.
We had a lovely stay at Heathside. We found the lodge spacious clean, comfortable and well equipped for 6. The hot tub was a lovely way to relax and very clean. Plenty of open green space for play or to wonder and very peaceful at night. Great location for short drive to beaches and exploring area.
The lodge could do with a few upgrades (new sofa / cushions etc) and a few minor things could do with some TLC (remote control / lights in the hottub not working) but these things are far outweighted by the pros.
Very pleasant surroundings, lovely location, great and comfortable lodges.
Very happy with Blyth Lodge. Perfect for what we needed, with the Hot Tub to relax in and cooking facilities so that we can cook the fresh fish we got from the market towns.
Just returned from family holiday, where we had 3 cabins on the site. My sister stayed in this cabin and loved it.
Excellent. The cabin lodge was lovely and all the fixtures were great.
Lovely lodge well kept grounds well stocked shop and friendly and helpful staff
The lodge was one of the best we've ever stayed in. It was a real home from home with everything we needed for our stay. Will recommend to anybody.
Gorgeous fluffy towels and pillows/bedding, comfy beds, very clean! Kitchen has everything we needed. Shower/bath plenty of hot water, didnt run out. We would definitely stay here again and recommend to friends/family.
Great lodge!
Lovely well equipped lodge, stayed in deben premier. Comfortable beds with lovely bedding. Nice touch getting a text saying what time the lodge will be ready from, ours was 2 hours early. Had a couple of issues with a tap & the door lock, just text and it was all sorted whilst we were out. Only downside was not being able to park outside the lodge to unload. Would certainly return.
Excellent accommodation - very comfortable and clean. Well equipped and the extra fridge was a boon. Hot tub was great to relax in late in the evening once it was a bit cooler outside.Beds very comfy, which is unusual for me. We all slept like logs with no neck or back complaints.
I would just like to say that the 3 day break that we had at the holiday lodge was a great time for the both of us we were very happy and satisfied with everything no complaints and no negative comments we are booking another lodge with you before Christmas
Fantastic lodges and excellent value.We enjoyed 5 days in the Debden Premier lodge as a couple with a small baby. We had everything we needed and the lodge is very private. The nature trail walk is beautiful. Thank you for a great break
I had a lovely few days here with my family, I stayed in lodge number 8, there were a few ants in the main bathroom in day 1 but they soon went. I came with my 3 children of various ages (18, 9, 6) my 6 year old is autistic and I found there was a lot of space for him to run around quite safely, he loved the hot tub as well. The shop onsite is very reasonably priced as well and has your essentials. I would definitely return.
A holiday we will remember for a very long time - and hope to be back for more of the same. Tempting to think about moving to the area.
***** five star in all levels! The lodges are fabulous, staff friendly and helpful, on site shop well stocked and reasonably priced. The hot tubs brilliant. Plenty of towels, good quality bedding, enough essentials (tea, coffee, sugar and mire) to see us through the first day. Toiletries a lovely touch. Cant recommend highly enough. Thank you for a lovely time all round.
Excellent in all respects. Love our twice year week long breaks .Breakfast on the verander listening to the birds is a oarticukar highlight.Strolling over to the bathroom reserve fabulous.A trio across the field fir a quick fame of table tennis not to be missed.A visit to the site shop for a chat and provisions.Cannot beat it!!
We loved staying at Heathside Lodges. The lodge was large and well equipped. Its a beautiful quiet site, with plenty of space, well maintained grounds, and beautiful country walks. Our bed was very comfortable, and the best part of the lodge was an amazing power shower! The only rub was the hot tub, which only had one jet setting. Despite that it would not put us off visiting again! Thank you.
Lodge inside good, few cobwebs on windows especially outside, decking and garden furniture could do with painting
Had a great time,peaceful. Could do with a lick of paint on the decking and outside furniture , also had ants inside the lodge we stayed at lodge 8. The locals we found not to be very friendly, and crazy drivers at speed on single lane b roads. If your after a peaceful break its ok.
I stayed at Heathside Lodges in Wenhaston, Halesworth with my wife, Son and Daughter in law and granddaughter for four nights. Karen, her husband and staff were vey friendly and we were so happy with our lodge. It was perfect for a family of five and the hot tub was an excellent way to relax. There was enough to keep as occupied and we are already looking to book next year. Thank you
I stayed with 2 adults and 3children aged 16 - 2 years.
The lodge was beautiful, clean and fully equipped. Hot tub was always clean and heated perfectly. Plenty of towels and pillows even a board game to pass the time. We had a BBQ too. The shop was conveniently on site and fully stocked.
All the staff were very helpful and polite.
We had a fantastic time and would definitely book to stay here again.
Very good location for walks.
There was a large field for children to play on.
Great location with only a 10 minute walk to the local friendly pub (20 on the way back after a few beers) serving amazing food and lovely staff and locals who made you feel very welcome The lodge itself was lovely inside with everything we needed. The exterior was a bit shabby and could do with a lick of paint. The hot tub was disappointing as on arrival we opened it and there appeared to be some sort of red drink spilt round the edge and some hairs in the tub. This had clearly not been cleaned after the last guests. The lid of the tub was also in poor condition with rips and tears and the handle broken. On the whole was a lovely break just a shame about the hot tub.
This is our 2nd visit to heathside lodges and it did not disappoint. The site is immaculate we have never been to a site which is so well maintained. All the staff onsite are friendly and approachable and nothing is too much trouble, the on-site shop is well stocked and reasonably priced. The lodge itself was spotless it had everything you would need with the added bonus of a hot tub which was clean and private. We will be going again
Great location on a rural site ideally situated 10 mins from Southwold and the coast
The site wad very well kept and shrub and tree planting ensured privacy to each plot.
The staff and owners were all courteous and helpful
Overall an excellent place to stay Highly Great location on a rural site ideally situated 10 mins from Southwold and the coast. Very peaceful and quiet
Excellent location loved the hot tub.
Relaxed week away
Amazing lodge and set in a peaceful stunning location.
Will definitely be rebooking.

Got back on Friday had a wonderful week. Loved staying at this spacious well run park, it was quiet and peaceful and only a short drive to get to most places of interest. The lodge was clean and comfortable, we loved the hot tub and would stay again.
