Helmingham Hall Gardens
Recommended by
Overview
Helmingham is famous for its Grade I listed gardens, re-designed by Lady Tollemache (a Chelsea gold medallist) and set in a 400 acre deer park, surrounding a moated Tudor hall. Visitors can see rare herds of red and fallow deer living in the wild, as well as enchanting herbaceous borders, the herb and knot gardens and the rose and wild gardens. A range of local food is served in the Coach House Tearooms, and the Stable Shops offer a wide range of local produce, plants and garden accessories, and local crafts. Special events are held throughout the year, including the Festival of Classic and Sports Cars, and the Suffolk Dog Day.

About the area
Suffolk is Constable country, where the county’s crumbling, time-ravaged coastline spreads itself under wide skies to convey a wonderful sense of remoteness and solitude. Highly evocative and atmospheric, this is where rivers wind lazily to the sea and notorious 18th-century smugglers hid from the excise men.
