Museum of East Anglian Life

Here you can explore nearly 3km of woodland and riverside nature trails, and learn about fascinating East Anglian crafts and traditional Gypsy culture. The museum has powerful steam engines and friendly animals, including Suffolk Punch Horses and rare breeds of cattle and sheep. Discover 15 splendidly restored historic buildings.
Then, having worked up a healthy appetite, try some delicious food and local produce in the new museum bistro.
