“On top of that you have some lovely countryside and riverside walks
right on your doorstep, so you have a real sense of peace and quiet.
The primary school is also very good for those with a young family -
and it feeds in to some excellent schools in and around nearby
Woodbridge.”

For anyone looking to feed their adventurous side, there is also a
sailing club, while Woodbridge Golf Club is just up the road. Other
draws to this coastal village include Orford Castle – a 12th century
keep built for Henry II; and the picturesque Orford Ness – an
internationally-important coastal nature reserve with a fascinating
20th-century military history.
