Darsham is a quiet and attractive village just off the A12 and situated about 5 miles from the Suffolk Coast, making it an ideal base from which to explore this most picturesque and diverse area. Priory Farm is about 1 mile from Darsham Station which has frequent local train and bus services as well as regular Inter-City connections to London.
The local shopping facilities include a mini-market at the garage and a farm shop. There is also a well stocked village store and Post Office at Yoxford, only 2 miles away. If you don't feel like cooking, there is no shortage of quality pubs, restaurants and tearooms to choose from with many specialising in using fresh local fish, meat and produce. The village pub, The Fox, is only a short walk from Priory Farm. Why not hire a bike from the cycle centre (bywaysbicycles.co.uk) and explore the country lanes at your leisure, or spend a few moments in quiet contemplation at the parish church.
The neighbouring area includes the coastal towns of Lowestoft, Southwold, Aldeburgh and Orford as well as other historic inland market towns such as Halesworth, Beccles, Bungay, Framlingham and Woodbridge. If you are looking for places to visit, there are a host of local attractions such as castles, museums, wildlife parks, boat trips on rivers or The Broads, specialist garden centres and more! Music, Art and Drama feature very strongly in Suffolk with a variety of concerts, exhibitions and performances close by throughout the year.
The surrounding woodlands, heathlands and coast are ideal for those wishing to enjoy walking, cycling and birdwatching. The RSPB bird reserve at Minsmere and the National Trust site at Dunwich Heath are about 10 minutes by car.
