Things to do in Suffolk during Spring
Spring is finally here, which means the sun is starting to come out and we’re getting ready for an Easter break. Some of us are fortunate enough to have some time off over the Easter period, so we’ve created a list of fun things you can do to make the most out of your break.
National Trust buildings
Suffolk is bursting with beautiful National Trust buildings; the only question is which one will you visit first? You really are spoilt for choice, but here are a few of our favourites:
- Thorington Hall: packed with history and bags of charm, turn the clock back 500 years and stay in one of Suffolk’s oldest buildings.
- Dunwich Heath and Beach: a precious landscape on the Suffolk coast, enjoy a spot of bird watching and more.
- Ickworth House: explore this estate and its great history. Here there’s so much to do, you’ll want to come back again and again.
