Our Park
Our Park is holiday park and therefore a non-residential site (proof of UK residence is a pre-requisit to buying a unit), and it is closed during the months of January through to March. The Park is managed by an Executive, elected by members, who run the Park for the collective good, on a non-profit basis.
Individual units are sold privately via local estate agents, although there is an interview process for the new applicant to make sure they understand and agree to our regulations. One of these rules is that units cannot be let or rented, and thereby limiting the Park occupancy to known owners, friends and family.

Suffolk Wildlife Trust advise on the conservation of the parkland, which includes rich grassland with Dyers Greenwood and orchids, a well stocked lake, and rich ancient mixed woodland, predominatly ash, hornbeam, oak, sycamore and horse chestnut.
