Ickworth was home to the Marquises of Bristol from the 15th century. The historic Hervey family is unfortunately better known today for their public antics and the modeling careers of the daughters than as an aristocratic family with an eminent past and an appetite for architecture and art. The house at Ickworth is an architectural gem with a frontage over 600 feet long and a rotunda over 100 feet high. It was based on the designs of Italian architect Mario Asprucci and contains paintings by some of the world’s most famous artists including Titian and Velazquez as well as family portraits by the likes of Gainsborough. It is also said that its collection of Georgian silver is probably the finest in Britain. Whilst the house in undeniably beautiful, it is the Italianate gardens that really set off the property and you will undoubtedly enjoy an exploration of the spring and silver gardens and the unusual stumpery. After partaking in one of the lovely woodland walks, you will most likely enjoy some refreshments in the fabulous on site restaurant. Set in the west wing is a lovely licensed café selling a myriad of tasty cakes as well as offering an extensive menu if you require something more substantial. The shop sells a diverse range of unique products including lovely blankets, locally made jewelry and a variety of food products from local farmers and suppliers. Ickworth truly is Britain at it historic and splendid best and a sight not to be missed when traveling in your Suffolk motorhome hire.

There are few truly ancient woodland left in the UK and this reserve in East Anglia is one of the few.  The RSPB is continues the traditional coppicing method of managing the reserve.

The wood and trails are open at all times but the car park is locked from 6 pm (or dusk if earlier), until 9am. Entry is free but donations to the RSPB are welcome so they can continue to maintain this beautiful woodland. The woods can be very muddy at times so it’s a good idea to wear Wellington boots.
