What an absolutely fabulous morning spent on the Hawk Walk with Steve and Treacle (Harris Hawk). Steve was very knowledgeable and kept us very well informed. Making sure that I got the best out of the time. Treacle is a real character! Beautiful Harris Hawk and gave us some fantastic photographs.

The Place for Plants

Wonderful, 20 acre, garden with a charming, very natural, magical feel and brimming with plants seldom seen in East Anglia and masses of wildlife. Renowned for the large collections of Camellias, Rhododendrons, Magnolias, flowering dogwoods, rambling roses, Hydrangeas and wide ranging autumn colour. Attached to the garden in a lovely 2 acre Victorian walled garden is an amazing nursery full of all manner of plants, a very extensive range, beautifully displayed and of the highest quality. Very knowledgeable staff are on hand to advise and help with queries.

Melford Hall

Reviewed By D6144QZstevem - Redcar, United Kingdom

It's a fascinating house and well worth exploring. To our delight and surprise Beatrice Potter, author of the 'Peter Rabbit' stories was a regular visitor. A fireplace and several pieces of furniture provided the inspiraion for the details in many of her drawings. Melford Hall is located only a few minutes drive from Lavenham and the two places offer interesting and contrasting visits.
