Suffolk
Cavendish
Famous for its thatched cottages, 75 being listed period
buildings, and the luscious green in the centre, the
village of Cavendish is one of the prettiest in Suffolk. Set
against a backdrop of the historic Saint Mary’s Church,
it mimics the scene of a traditional English village. The
river Stour flows through, forming the county boundary
between Suffolk and Essex, as well as providing scenic
walks along the river.
Take the Stour Valley Path, which goes right through
the village or one of the many footpaths leading into the
surrounding countryside.
Eat at the award-winning The George Pub, which is
positioned on the edge of the village green. The menu
is guided by the seasons to ensure the produce used is
of the highest quality and sustainable, utilising their own
garden to grow seasonal vegetables.
Another favourite is the pub that’s painted pink; The Five
Bells, you won’t miss it! Offering traditional pub food, as
well as an outdoor seating area overlooking the green,
it is perfect on a warm day. If you want a lighter bite, visit
the Tea Rooms situated in the Cavendish Antiques Store,
have a browse of the fine antique furniture, art work,
lighting and collectables from the 17th century and
finish off with a freshly made cake and a cup of tea.
