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 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.

Moated Tudor hall with Grade I listed gardens and a 400-acre deer park of red and fallow deer.
Helmingham Hall is a moated manor house in Suffolk, begun by John Tollemache in 1480 and owned by the Tollemache family ever since.

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.
Drive times are typical times by car with no traffic. Check opening times and book tickets on each attraction's own website before you go.

30 reviews from guests who stayed at Pakefield Holiday Park
If you are a large person, I would recommend a larger caravan as the bathrooms are on the small size as are the showers. But they are always cleaned to a very good standard and perfect for us
Appeared to be new but apparently not, hard to tell.
Very clean and comfortable caravan
Lovely stay would be back
Enjoyed my week in a very quiet park
Fine caravan at a good price
Yes lovely site close to beach shops
The cottage was lovely, really cosy and in a perfect spot for us-peaceful and away from the busy areas. The hot tub was a real treat too. Owners were friendly but not pushy, theyve got the balance just right!
We had a fantastic time at this cosy little cottage. Its perfectly tucked away for privacy but still near local shops and eateries. The hot tub was a real highlight and the underfloor heating kept everything super comfy. Rob, Sharon and Bonnie are truly lovely hosts. Cant wait to return!
We had a lovely stay at this cosy spot tucked away in such a peaceful, private setting. The hosts were genuinely friendly and always ready to help if needed, yet kept the atmosphere quiet and relaxed. After a day of cycling, the hot tub was just what we needed - absolute bliss! A heads up though, the cottage sits directly under Stansteds flight path, so theres quite a bit of aircraft noise. It took us a few hours to get used to it, but honestly, it didn't ruin our holiday at all. Would definitely recommend!

Plus, the walks nearby are fantastic. Thaxteds restaurants, especially The Star and The Maypole, are worth a visit. Wed definitely recommend it!

We had a really lovely stay here! The place is tucked away in such a peaceful spot, perfect for escaping the hustle. The owners were genuinely friendly and always happy to help without intruding on our privacy. The hot tub was a highlight after long bike rides - pure relaxation! A quick heads-up, though: the cottage sits right under Stansteds flight path, so theres quite a bit of aircraft noise. It didnt bother us much once we got used to it, but if you're sensitive to noise, its worth knowing. Overall, a great find!
