Easton Farm Park

Lydia | July 29, 2012

We spent a wonderful day at Easton Farm Park when we were on holiday in Suffolk recently.

Easton Farm Park is located near Woodbridge. To get there we drove through beautiful winding country roads, forests and farmland.

There’s a wide range of farm animals for children to see and feed including pigs, rabbits, chickens, goats and horses.

Imogen loved the tractors that are available for children to ride on. She couldn’t reach the pedals so Mummy and Daddy had fun driving her around the farm!

We all rode on a pony and cart which was a delightful experience for Imogen, being her first experience of a pony.

It was wonderful to see Imogen relate to the farm animals. We’ve read plenty of books with stories about farm animals and tractors so Easton Farm Park really brought this alive.

Easton Farm Park is very well organised with timed events giving families the ability to enjoy everything the farm has to offer.

The train ride is lots of fun for parents and children. It took us around the animal yard and past some of the horses in the paddocks.

And if you get caught by rain, as we did, there’s a large soft play centre for babies and children that includes a soft swing, ball pits and slides.

The outdoor play area has swings, slides and a flying fox for older children.

There are pony rides and hug a bunny sessions. Imogen desperately wanted to ride a pony when she saw the older children on them. We compromised and she happily settled for wearing a riding hat whilst watching the children ride the ponies!

It was a great day out and we’ll be sure to go back next time we’re in Suffolk.

Orford Castle

Lydia | July 12, 2012

Today we returned to Orford Castle, a distinct and unique polygonal tower keep in Orford.

Orford Castle dates back to the 12th century and considering the age of this tower keep, it’s in great condition.

From 1 April to 4 November 2012 you can visit Orford Castle every day of the week from 10am to 5pm.

There’s a wide selection of family friendly places to eat in Orford. We like the Pump Street Bakery, The Jolly Sailor and Ruth Watson’s The Crown and Castle.

You can discover more on Orford Castle at English Heritage.
