Things to Do

While this is most definately a rural location there are fantastic opportunities for activities. Bike hire is available and bikes can be delivered and fitted for you at the farm. Close by is an excellent golf course, flying trips and lessons can be arranged and there are opportunities for clay pigeon shooting, pro-karting and boating. Suffolk's Heritage coastline encompassing Lowestoft's Blue Flag beach, genteel Southwold and Dunwich are all within a short drive. Nearest shop and pub 2 miles: Marsh Farm is just 3 miles from the imposing tower of the ancient church at Beccles, whose street names, Saltgate, Northgate, Smallgate and Hungate hint at the fortifications which once surrounded the town. Beccles is home to an excellent range of restaurants, shops and pubs, their Georgian facades disguising many of its ancient buildings which nestle along the banks of the lower Waveney River. Here you can explore the lovely reed-fringed waterways of The Broads and their abundant wildlife. For those seeking some culture The Old Granary Studio, Toft Monks, Beccles is a beautiful venue where you can enjoy a variety of musical offerings, occasionally with dinner. Theatres and concert halls well worth a visit include the newly restored Fisher Theatre in Bungay, the Cut in Halesworth and the Snape Maltings Concert Hall, near Aldeburgh. Nearest pub The Shadingfield Fox (4 minutes by car) Great food
