We are lucky to have a fantastic kitchen garden, managed by our Gardener Charlotte Langley. Trained and used to looking after National Heritage Gardens we’re excited to see her develop the landscape in our outdoor spaces. This means that you’ll be eating loads of our fresh, homegrown produce when dining with us. Fresh, homegrown food is a passion of ours. We’ve added an orchard between the main dining garden and will shortly be looking to have our own berry garden.
We also have manage a number of wildflower zones and our pond is home to Suffolk’s only native duck – Appleyards.
The Duck Pond
The duck pond , which is always popular with our younger guests, who can get ‘up and close’ to some of the less shy birds
You’ll probably be able to hear our wonderful native Suffolk ducks.
Local Walks
We are right on the edge of Freston Wood, a Site of Specific Scientific Interest (SSSI) and one of the most spectacular Bluebell woods in Suffolk.
The woods are obviously at their best in mid-late spring, when not only bluebells but also thousands of wild garlic flowers are in bloom. Walking through in other seasons is nearly as enchanting, especially when you can finish at The Boot for a drink and a meal.
