We spend the morning in the attractive riverside town of Woodbridge, where the pedestrianised town centre makes for a relaxing morning of shopping and exploring. This afternoon we head to The Suffolk Punch Trust, where a guided tour, tractor and trailer ride around the site and introductory talk are included. The Suffolk Punch Trust aims to protect the rare breed of Suffolk Punch Horse, as well as other interesting locally-bred rare breeds.

Finally we travel to Lavenham, voted one of Britain’s finest preserved villages, where free time is available.

Departing the hotel, we explore the 50 mile stretch of heritage coastline and an area of natural outstanding beauty, before making our first break at Aldeburgh, one of Suffolk’s pretty coastal resorts where free time is available. Continuing to Thorpeness, we see the old water tower known as ‘The House in the Clouds’, before travelling to Leiston and to the pretty resort of Southwold and its famous pier.
