Suffolk Holiday Cottages » Holiday Cottages in Long MelfordHoliday Cottages in Long Melford
Suffolk is one of those uniquely British destinations that combines access to countryside with a coastal border, inviting visitors to choose a home from home with rolling hills, footpaths, and country pubs just a short walk away.
And while one thing that unites the whole of Suffolk is its character and charm, each town, village, and parish has something new to offer.
Positioned inland, just north of Sudbury, access to the seaside is doable as a day trip from Long Melford. Located close to the border of Essex, just off the A134 and a stone’s throw from the River Stour, Long Melford is a destination that combines convenience with experience.
Here are just some of the reasons to visit Long Melford – and where to stay on your getaway!
Things to Do Around Long Melford
A small parish, Long Melford is not rife with attractions – making it a peaceful place around which to centre your next staycation.
An easy drive to many of Suffolk’s more immersive attractions and days out, Long Melford itself is home to Melford Hall – a historic house and grounds that’s well worth exploring, as well as several popular pubs and walking routes. Nearby Sudbury is an ideal place to spend a day, while Lavenham, located a little further north of Long Melford, is renowned as being one of the most picturesque villages in Suffolk. Staying on the A134 north will carry you all the way into Bury St Edmunds, or you can head east via Ipswich and eventually find yourself on the coastline near Felixstowe.
Despite being a relatively small and untouched parish itself, Long Melford is an ideal place to call home during your upcoming adventures in Suffolk.
