The National Trust in Suffolk

The National Trust in Suffolk cares for an amazing variety of places in Suffolk, from the Suffolk shingle of Orford Ness, to the archaeological wonders of Sutton Hoo.

Enjoy the Georgian palace of Ickworth, Bury St Edmunds, the fine red brick Tudor mansion Melford Hall, Long Melford, or the scenic coastal lowlands of Dunwich Heath, Dunwich, all well tended and maintained by the Trust.

The National Trust is a charity and is completely independent of Government. We rely for income on membership fees, donations and legacies, and revenue raised from our commercial operations.

We now have 3.5 million members and 52,000 volunteers who gave 2.3 million hours in 2007/08. More than 12 million people visit our pay for entry properties, while an estimated 50 million visit our open air properties.

We protect and open to the public over 300 historic houses and gardens and 49 industrial monuments and mills.

But it doesn’t stop there. We also look after forests, woods, fens, beaches, farmland, downs, moorland, islands, archaeological remains, castles, nature reserves, villages - for ever, for everyone.

So visit the National Trust in Suffolk soon!
