Looking out from your decked area you can enjoy magnificent views and wildlife whilst enjoying a morning coffee; this is the perfect spot for planning your day or dining alfresco on a summer's evening, or perhaps enjoy a glass of wine on the Indian sandstone patio. Guests are able to enjoy some wild swimming in the river surrounding you. The waterways have been highlighted as a fantastic spot for this and were one of Roger Deakin's favourite spots according to his well-known book, Waterlog, and are also excellent for fishing and kayaking. Why not try your hand at canoeing; Captain Cook canoes operates from Wortwell Mill upstream gardens and can be booked directly online with dedicated launch pontoons, free to use both upstream and downstream. From your doorstep you are spoilt for choice on footpaths and bridleways linking you to village pubs and beautiful locations, including the village of Mendham famous for its association with the horse artist Sir Arthur Munnings, and a footbridge allowing easy access to the Limbourne Common and delightsome riverside walks.

The area of the beautiful Norfolk/Suffolk countryside is perfect for dog walking with numerous mapped out walks along the riverside. A stunning drive takes you from the property through the group of villages known as The Saints through to the coast at Southwold and the popular Walberswick, famous for its world crabbing competition.
