A 20 minute drive away from Woodthorpes brings you to Lavenham, England’s finest medieval village.
Lavenham is a living and working village. As well as traditional butchers, bakers and grocers there is a range of independently owned shops selling everything from designer homewares, clothes, accessories and high quality gifts and collectables. These intermingle with fine art galleries and make it a pleasure to browse in the High Street, Water Street and the Market Place.
Lavenham abounds with places to eat and drink; cosy cafés, tea rooms and pubs serving delicious home made food and nationally acclaimed fine dining restaurants. Truly there is something to suit all tastes and pockets. Those seeking more energetic ways to relax will enjoy Lavenham’s surrounding countryside footpaths and circular walks, all of which are easily accessible from the village.
