| Directions and Maps The farm is easy to find, being set well back from the A143 with its own half mile drive joining the road and is about three miles from Bungay and four miles from Harleston. Approaching from the south west - On the A143, continue past Harleston, straight over two roundabouts. The farm entrance is exactly 4 miles on the left hand side of the road. If you indicate left as you see the sign for a staggered crossroads with an arrow straight on, you will be correct for turning in the drive. Approaching from the north east - On the A143, continue straight over the two roundabouts at Bungay. Continue on the A143, do NOT turn left at the crossroads into Earsham village. About one mile further on there is a turning right. Indicate as if to turn right, but turn into the farm drive about 50 yards further on. Approaching from Norwich - Take the signs for "Lowestoft" and "Bungay". Turn right onto the B1332 towards Bungay. Continue on this road for approximately 10 miles to Hedenham. Turn right at the Mermaid pub towards Earsham. Follow this road for approximately 2 miles and after a sharp left hand bend take the right turn, called "Pheasants walk". Continue on this road to the end. As you approach the "T" junction, you will see a lay-by with a "No Through Road" sign on it. Ignore this! and turn into the lay-by, at its end you will see it feeds into the farm drive on your right. The farmhouse can be seen about half a mile up the drive on a gentle hill. Please come up to the house and park on the gravel on the front. |
| Places to Visit Bungay The little market town of Bungay is about 3 miles away from this quiet and peaceful farmhouse where all sorts of delights can be found such as second hand books, antiques and galleries - even a real pawn broker. The town is proud of its ancient castle built by Hugh Bigod in the 12th century to protect the town which is embraced by the River Waveney. Boats and canoes can be hired for river trips and there are many interesting walks along its banks. Norwich Norwich is a magnificent walled city. The cathedral, set in it's own close has 1200 carved stone bosses illustrating the entire bible story in the roof of the cloisters. The Norwich school is set in the cathedral grounds and was attended by Lord Nelson. His statue now stands facing his former school room.The city has a delightful jumble of medieval streets and lanes with attractive half timbered houses. The castle towers over the city and now houses a museum acclaimed as one of the best in Britain. Norwich was voted one of the top ten shopping destinations with a wide choice of individual small shops, full of local character alongside the larger departmental chain stores. Norwich also has one of the largest and most colourful markets in the country and is open 6 days a week. Southwold and the Heritage Coast Southwold and other local towns are renowned for their unique character, a step back in time with colourful beach huts, a superb pier and unusual shopping and eating opportunities. The whole of the north Suffolk coast has been awarded heritage status, and, where the gorse heaths meet sandy beaches, you will find nature reserves with superb walking opportunities. |
