Woodbridge Suffolk.

As a revenge for accompanying me to the Eden Project and Heligan, I have had to agree to go to a golfing weekend to Ufford Park in August. I'm a gardener, not a golfer so it's going to be boring for me unless I visit the Spa in the Hotel. The inclusive bit involves saunas and cold showers etc. which fill me with the horrors. :o Other treatments are extortionate, ie: £55 for a foot treatment. ;D
I have googled the area and can't seem to find anything interesting to do except visit a mill. Does anyone else know the area , if so how can I amuse myself for a Sunday afternoon/Monday morning.
Ps. I have just read an excruciatingly bad revue for the restaurant which is part of the package.Hope they have their act together by August. :-\
Any comments on the area would be most welcome.

Well i used to live in Suffolk and if you are in Woodbridge, hows about a day out in Ipswich. Its not so far away. Thompson and Morgan is also in Ipswich, perhaps there is a garden place near their headquarters.
Other than that, can't think where you could make for unless you have the use of a car. You are in Constable Country and there are some lovely villages roundabout. We had a few days staying nr Needham Market two years ago. I met a lady from A4A whilst we were in Suffolk, at a Garden Centre in Woodbridge!!! Do some more googling....

If you've got transport, there are loads of nice villages and interesting old churches. Norwich Cathedral is well worth a visit if you can get that far, or Framlingham Castle. There must be gardens you gan see as well. There's a strange walk along the cliffs at the site of Dunwich; it's a medieval town which has completely disappeared into the sea. When I went along there there was a single gravestone left on the edge of the cliff, but it's probably long gone now.

I will have my car so Suffolk is my oyster, so to speak. ;D Liking the sound of a cliff top walk Robert.
Thanks all for your suggestions, a little more investigating on my part is required now I have an idea what to look at.

Hi Emaggie,
Not sure how far it is from Woodbridge, but Aldeburgh on the Suffolk coast is well worth a visit - home to Benjamin Britten for many years, and you can certainly hear it in his music. And Snape Maltings is also worth a visit - not just a concert hall, there are plenty of craft shop and restaurants too.
Cheers,
Rob ;)

I agree about Adleburgh and Snape - my favourite places...
If you go to Adleburgh try :-
the chip shop - one of the best in the world
the Cragg sisters tea shop - homemade cakes are fab
the stained glass in the church there is stunning
a walk down to the Marello tower is lovely
walk down the coast the the village of Thorpeness - lots of curios there
Dunwich
- lovey pub
nice walks
fish and chips on beach
Southwold
Lovely walks
wonderful beach
Great places to eat and drink
can I come too?

And if you take in Aldeburgh don't miss the Maggi Hambling sculpture on the beach. ;D
