Suffolk Serenity
This site is an absolute gem set in rural Suffolk. When we arrived Neil was in his garden and he came to welcome us. He offered us two pitches and when we asked if it was possible to pitch along the garden fence adjacent to the toilet/shower block he could not have been more helpful, running an extension lead and 13amp adaptors from his shed to our pitch. Care is needed when entering the site through the 5-bar gate (especially if you have an 8ft wide caravan) but once on site there is ample room between pitches. The site is level, free draining and surrounded by hedgerows which attract birds. Water hook up woukd make it perfect but it wasn’t difficult to keep the barrels filled from our pitch. The toilet/shower wet room facilities are excellent for a CL, with adjacent grey and blackwater disposal and recycling bins. From the site there is access to several local walks and dog owners on site made use of them. At night, with clear dark skies the stars above lit up the sky giving us great views of the constellations and Milky Way. It was good to be on a site where the other campers did not have their outfits lit up like Blackpool Tower! Theberton is a perfect location to reach Southwold, Aldburgh and of cord RSPB Minsmere where spent two days. We did not eat at the local pub, The Lion, but did eat at The Bell, Middleton, which was very good and on Thursday evening we were entertained by local musicians. The medieval church in Theberton is also worth visiting, a short walk from the site. Leiston is two miles away with a selection of shops and takeaways should you need them and an Esso service station on Saxmundham Road selling the cheapest fuel locally. Sizewell B nuclear power station is just a couple of miles away
and you can here a low humming but this did not impact on the peace and tranquility. Overall, a great place to go and Suffolk is now our “Happy Place”! We are already planning on visiting again next year.
