Rumburgh, a picturesque village nestled in the heart of Suffolk, offers a tranquil escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. While it's a relatively small village, there's a wealth of activities to explore in the surrounding area including a vineyard and an excellent network of public footpaths through the countryside. Nearby Bungay (6.2 miles) has an award winning dairy farm where you can buy fresh milk, cheese and bread and is a delicious must-visit during your stay. Heading towards the coast, you will reach Halesworth (3.8 miles) which has a lovely thoroughfare lined with boutique shops, a scrumptious deli, and pubs as well as a train station and food store. The popular coastal gem of Southwold is within easy reach by car (12.2 miles) where you can while away the day on the sandy shores with a picnic, take a dip in the sea and visit the eccentric amusements on the pier.
