Suffolk is known for its charming towns and villages, but this week we’re highlighting Ufford, a village that offers more than just picturesque scenery. With an award-winning pub and plenty of
activities, it’s a must-visit destination.
Here are some reasons to add Ufford to your travel list:
Award-Winning Pub
Ufford is home to The Ufford Crown, one of the top gastropubs in the UK. Earlier this year, it earned a spot on Estrella Damm’s prestigious list of the top 100 gastropubs. It’s also been recognized by the public as one of the best places in Suffolk to enjoy a roast dinner.
The pub boasts a spacious restaurant, a cosy bar, and a stylish lounge area, making it the perfect spot to relax and enjoy an afternoon or evening meal.
Golf Club and Hotel
Ufford Park Resort offers more than just great accommodations. The resort features a top-tier golf club and a luxurious spa. The spa underwent a £750,000 renovation last year, adding eight new treatment rooms and a dedicated relaxation area for guests to unwind post-treatment.
Ufford Park’s award-winning golf course includes Suffolk’s only two-tiered driving range, making it a fantastic destination for golfers of all skill levels.
Scenic Village Walks
Ufford is crisscrossed with public footpaths, many of which date back to medieval times. These scenic routes connect Ufford to neighboring villages like Bredfield, Bromeswell, Eyke, Melton, and Pettistree, making it an ideal location for nature lovers and those who enjoy exploring the countryside.
Parklands Wood
For those who love nature, Parklands Wood is a tranquil spot to explore. The woodland is home to a variety of mature trees, including oak, ash, lime, and sweet chestnut, providing the perfect setting for a peaceful walk.
With its award-winning pub, scenic walking trails, and luxurious amenities, Ufford is a hidden gem in Suffolk that is well worth a visit. Photo by The 'Ufford Crown' public house in the High Street by Adrian S Pye, Wikimedia commons.
