Sunnyside Farm, IP19 8RH is nestled amongst the gently rolling countryside of North East Suffolk. Situated near the level crossing at the edge of Westhall village, it is surrounded by arable farm land, quietly hidden out in the ‘stix’, and well off the beaten track. We can (just about) be found between the historic market towns of Halesworth, Bungay and Beccles.
This is a prime location for accessing Suffolk & South Norfolk. We are a 2 hour drive from London – 12 mins off the A12 at Blythburgh, towards Beccles, or 45 minutes from Norwich – turning left off the A145 (the old Roman Road known as ‘Stone Street’) from Bungay, at Ilketshall Saint Lawrence.
Sunnyside Farm is a short 15 minutes’ drive to the beautiful coast, heathland & beaches AONB at Covehithe and Southwold, Dunwich & Walberswick, RSPB Minsmere. The Broads & Waveney Valley are also nearby with Latitude Festival at Henham (only 4 miles away). All are reachable within easy cycling distance, along small country lanes.
Westhall Parish boasts many miles of quiet country lanes, bridleways and footpaths - ideal for families with dogs, walkers & cyclists, and those who may just like to stay local and abandon the car for a day or two!
The No.1 National Cycle Route passes along the end of our lane (Wangford Road/Cox Common) and we are a perfect little stop off for any weary cyclist in need of rest and a place to pitch up.
