Barton Mills - the quintessential English village
Nestled between Newmarket and Thetford in the Forest Heath district of Suffolk, the sleepy village of Barton Mills used to be a halfway house for travellers from London to Norwich. It's a beautiful village for some relaxation, with Bury St Edmunds only 10 miles away.
Step back in time at Ickworth House

Visitors can take a picnic and wander through the stunning garden, or find out more about the lives of the servants that kept Ickworth House running.
