Felbrigg Hall is one of the region’s most elegant and ornate buildings, offering up medieval stained glass windows, opulent Italianate décors, a sumptuous Gothic library with over 5,000 books, intricate 17th-century plaster work, and much, much more.
Felbrigg’s Walled Garden is home to intoxicating colourful herb beds that give off wonderfully intoxicating aromas as you walk the picturesque, hedge-bordered paths. Alternatively, why not pay a visit to the cool shade of the Orangery or gaze at the unusual, exotic plants that grow in the grounds?
Entering the rest of the hall’s 520 acre estate, visitors can walk beside the ancient beeches and oaks of the Great Wood (a designated Site of Scientific Interest), uncover the folly ruins of the Ice House, or lounge by the tranquil waters of Felbrigg Lake.
Felbrigg’s tea room has an excellent reputation for homemade soup and scones, so a pit stop here to refuel is highly recommended!
Top tip: Don’t miss the chance to visit the dovecote in the Walled Garden. Built in the late 18th century, it is one of the UK’s very best surviving examples of a large-scale dovecote, with holes for nearly 1000 birds to nest in. The structure was restored in the early 20th century and is still home to eye-catching doves today.

Historical
The Beechwood Hotel was Agatha Christie's summer residence. From 1936 until the 1960s Agatha Christie stayed here many times as the guest of her friends whose private home it then was, often sitting in the summer house to write. The Hotel, Restaurant and Rooms reflect the elegance of that period. They have a full set of Agatha Christie novels and a postcard and personal letter written by Agatha Christie to Mrs McLeod which are available for guests to peruse. We also have a lovely collection of pictures from the Beechwood Hotel's past.

This sand and shingle beach is probably the best known of all Suffolk’s beaches. Backing on to the pretty seaside town of Aldeburgh there are no shortage of facilities either.
Aldeburgh has plenty to explore on and around the beach. Along the beach front are any number of quirky historic buildings. These include the 400 year old Moot Hall, a Martello tower, a converted windmill and a Norman church.
There is cultural heritage here too; composer Benjamin Britten is strongly linked with the town and there is a monument to him on the beach - the Scallop. The art scene remains vibrant in Aldeburgh with a number of galleries, most notably Caroline Wiseman’s housed in the South Lookout right on the beach.
However, the best cultural experience to be had in the town are fish and chips which have been rated as the best on the East coast!
