Suffolk Attractions

Whether you’re a nature lover, a history buff or an explorer, there’s no shortage of incredibly varied Suffolk attractions to discover and enjoy.

The bustling working market town of Saxmundham lies a short distance from us, and it’s well worth a visit with its busy shops, cafes and museum. We’re also close to the unspoilt village of Peasenhall, home to the oldest artisan ham and bacon producer in the UK and a range of interesting shops, tearooms and eateries.

From the diverse scenery of the protected Suffolk & Essex Coast & Heaths National Landscape to historic castles, ancient burial sites, brewery tours and award-winning wildlife parks, Suffolk’s leading attractions are easily reachable from the White Horse.

Framlingham Castle
 

One of the most historic Suffolk Attractions, this fascinating medieval castle is a must-visit. With 800 years of rich history behind its walls, discover the stories of Framlington’s past inhabitants, follow the wall-top walk around the castle’s defences, explore the workhouse and visit the interactive exhibition.
