A full day among elephants, giraffes, big cats and Komodo dragons on the edge of Colchester.
Colchester Zoo has been open since 1963 and is home to many rare and endangered species, including big cats, primates, birds, invertebrates and fish. The animals are arranged in themed zones, so you move from one habitat to the next as you explore.

A coastal fort at Felixstowe with centuries of military history and views over the Port of Felixstowe.
Landguard Fort guards the approach to Harwich Harbour, and it was the site of the last opposed seaborne invasion of England, when the Dutch landed in 1667 and were repulsed by the Royal Marines. The current fort dates from the 18th century and was altered in the 19th, with further batteries added in the 19th and 20th centuries. It was manned through both World Wars.
Tip: Book tickets in advance on the Landguard Fort Trust website, though you can also buy them on arrival.

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. You can wander through period rooms, from the Tudor kitchen and the Georgian saloon to the Victorian wing, and imagine how owners and servants once lived.
Tip: Download the free Bloomberg Connects guide before you go, as the Mansion has no Wi-Fi, and note there is no parking at the museum.

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. Panels point out the town, the outer earthworks and the Mere, and the tall Tudor chimneys on the towers each have a different brick design.
Tip: Book advance tickets online to save money on the gate price, and pick up the free audio guide to get more from the wall walk.

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.

Explore the largest Norman keep in Europe, built on the foundations of a Roman temple.

A 12th-century royal keep of unique design, with views over Orford Ness on the Suffolk coast.
Orford Castle is a 12th-century castle in Suffolk, built by Henry II between 1165 and 1173 to strengthen royal power in the region. Its keep is the main draw. Historian R. Allen Brown called it "one of the most remarkable keeps in England", and its design is unique, possibly inspired by Byzantine architecture.

Could do with better TV reception
Really enjoyed our stay here. The place was spotless and peaceful. Hosts were super friendly. The hot tub was a real treat and the garden was perfect for our dog.
The owners were super friendly and really went the extra mile when the power went out because of the storm. The cottage was spotless, warm and well-equipped. Our dog loved the enclosed garden and we enjoyed the hot tub too!
We had a lovely stay at the cottage. The owners were super friendly and really thoughtful, making us feel right at home. The place itself is a real charmer, with its traditional timber-framed look and a cosy vibe. The shower was fantastic and the bed was comfy enough to have a proper lie-in. Parking right outside was a bonus and the area around is perfect for walks. Overall, a charming spot, spotlessly clean and well heated. Wed definitely come back!
We just got back from a fantastic four-night stay at this charming cottage. The owners were really friendly and helpful without being intrusive, which was great. The fenced garden was perfect for our dog to run around freely. The place had everything we needed, including a fully equipped kitchen and we enjoyed using the BBQ one evening. The hot tub was the real highlight! Wed definitely come back and already recommended it to friends. Thanks for a lovely break!
We had such a lovely stay at this place! The setting is truly beautiful and super private, which we really appreciated. The owners are genuinely friendly and always ready to help if needed, but they respect your space. The hot tub was a real highlight after a long day of cycling. One thing to note, the cottage is directly under Stansteds flight path, so theres quite a bit of aircraft noise. It took us a couple of hours to get used to it, but it didnt ruin our trip at all. Definitely recommend for a peaceful getaway!
We had such a lovely weekend here! The place was perfect for what we needed and we definitely plan to return. Our dogs were so happy - the underfloor heating was a hit and they had a blast in the garden. Luna even came home with a strained tail, but the vet says she was wagging it way too much. Happy pups, happy us!
We absolutely loved this place! The rural setting was so peaceful and the courtyard was charming. The hot-tub really made it special. Perfect spot for relaxing country strolls. Would recommend!
We just got back from a wonderful week at Goddards Mead. The cottage had absolutely everything we needed, really well stocked. The hosts were so friendly and welcoming. Despite being on a working farm, it felt like a peaceful little retreat. Loved it!
Great spot for families, clean and tidy
We really enjoyed our stay at the cottage. Perfect for a peaceful getaway, although you do hear planes at night since it's close to Stanstead. The hot tub was fantastic!
Really enjoyed our stay, the caravan was spotless and super comfy.
We had such a lovely stay, the cottage was gorgeous with a warm log burner and hot tub. The hosts were really friendly too!
There's plenty to explore nearby and having Lidl just a short walk from the caravan is super convenient!
Had a fantastic time, can't wait to return next year!
Overall, we really enjoyed the place. Some staff seemed a bit off and sitting together wasnt possible because of social distancing, which was a bit disappointing. Still, lovely atmosphere.
We had such a lovely stay! The place was spotless, really well-stocked and super comfy to relax in.

Really enjoyed our stay, lovely hosts and the jacuzzi was definitely a highlight! Would come back.
Really enjoyed our stay, the cottage had everything needed.
Always a lovely trip with good vibes
We booked this place for a dog walk getaway and it was just what we needed. Lovely quiet fields nearby, great pubs within walking distance and the accommodation was top-notch. The dog didnt want to leave, honestly!
We loved this cosy little cottage! Its tucked away enough for peace and quiet but still close to shops and local spots. The hot tub was a real treat and the underfloor heating kept everything super warm. Rob, Sharon and Bonnie were lovely too. Cant wait to return!
Really enjoyed our stay! The staff were super friendly and quick to help with any problems. Perfect location too and parking was hassle-free.
This place is a real gem! Perfectly tucked away for privacy but still handy for local shops and eateries. The hot tub is spot on after a day out and the underfloor heating keeps everything super cosy. Rob, Sharon and Bonnie are lovely hosts. Cant wait to return soon!
We had an amazing stay! The cottage was spotless and well-equipped, perfect for relaxing. The hot tub was definitely a highlight and the surrounding walks made it even better. Quiet and peaceful, its just what we needed. Highly recommend!
Overall, we had a decent stay. The caravan was a bit dated, with some draughts around the window seals, but the bedrooms were spotless and the beds were already made. Considering the price, it was pretty good value for money.
Great stay, will come back!
We stayed at this place recently and honestly, its really well kitted out and super cosy, perfect for a chilly December day. The bath was lovely and the shower was a good size - just what we needed. The house is on a flight path, but honestly, it didnt bother us at all. Perfect spot for dogs scared of fireworks since its so remote. Really lovely place, thanks so much!
We had such a lovely stay at this charming cottage! Its really well equipped, so we didnt need to bring much at all. The welcome pack was thoughtful, with all the info and menus we needed, which was a bonus. The owners, Sharon and Rob, were quick to respond if we had any questions. Our dogs loved the enclosed garden and the hot tub was fantastic after a day out. Thanks for the little extras for us and the pups - it made our break even better. Wed definitely come back!
The caravan was clean and suited us perfectly.
The staff were great.
We love felixstowe and loved paddling in the sea.
Very good location for walking to the beach. Clean and tidy park.
Caravan park excellent,quiet and clean. However there were no recycling bins, limited menu in the onsite restaurant, asked for 2 extra pillows cases,reception phoned for them but never got them
The staff are very helpful and pleasant. The site is very well laid out and there are all
the facilities that you need and is not far to the beach and town. We would recommend this site to our friends and relatives.
Excellent service
Lovely little holiday park, short walk from the beach and shops. Pool lovely and staff friendly and helpful. Disappointed that on site play area wasn't available but there is a public one nearby we used instead.
Lovely clean site. The staff were extremely helpful and professional. Felixstowe is a lovely seaside town and has lots for young children to enjoy.
Just returned from 7 days holiday. Caravan was excellent weather was perfect will definitely been returning to this site again.
