The Village and Surrounding Area

Cratfield is a peaceful North Suffolk village where you can relax and unwind in beautiful rolling countryside, yet is within easy reach of the Suffolk Heritage Coast. Each cottage has books, leaflets and a wealth of information on things to do in the local area. You'll be spoilt for choice. Some of the favourites are:

Aldeburgh:

As well as having very close links with Benjamin Britten, Aldeburgh also has the best fish and chip shop locally and there is often a long queue down the street outside.

Lowestoft:

Britain's most easterly point, and one of its' best sandy beaches.

Southwold:

Home to Adnams Brewery, Suffolk's oldest brewery and home to its famous pier and colourful beach huts. Relax on the beach, stroll round the town, take the row boat ferry to Walberswick or explore Southwold Maize Maze.

Walberswick:

Woodbridge:

RSPB reserve at Minsmere and The National Trust at Dunwich Heath:

The purple heather and yellow gorse look stunning on the heath and cliff top at the end of the summer.

Other nearby attractions:

These include Framlingham Castle (now even more famous thanks to Ed Sheeran!) where you can walk around the battlements and sometimes enjoy Medieval battle displays etc, Snape Maltings, famous for its Classical Music concerts and Southwold Maize Maze.

A little further afield you can visit historic Norwich, with its Cathedral and Castle or the Norfolk Broads. You will also find a Dinosaur Theme Park and Bewilderwood located near Norwich.
