Parks and Gardens

On the other side of town, the wildlife haven of Lackford Lakes is home to kingfishers, dragonflies and otters. West Stow Country Park, with its adventure playground and trails through heath and woodland, provides further opportunities for families to enjoy the great outdoors.  

Nearby Fullers Mill Garden is an enchanting and tranquil waterside and woodland garden, situated on the banks of the River Lark at West Stow in Suffolk.  It combines a beautiful site of light dappled woodland with a fabulous collection of rare and unusual shrubs, perennials, lilies and marginal plants, collected over 50 years.

The inspirational Italianate gardens at the National Trust's Ickworth House are a must at any time of year. 

Restore your calm in these unique formal gardens and the surrounding tranquil woods and parkland.
