Days Out in Suffolk With A Difference


Windmill Lodges is the perfect holiday destination for couples, families or groups of friends as we offer fully-equipped self-catering accommodation in gorgeous log cabins that are furnished to the highest standards. For those of you who enjoy trying new and adventurous things, here we have highlighted some of the exciting places to visit around our stunning lodges. If you are visiting our log cabins to celebrate something special, such as a birthday or anniversary, then these activities are sure to make your short breaks in Suffolk something to remember.

Adnams Brewery

For an informative and interesting tour around one of Britain’s most famous breweries, why not visit Adnams Brewery and Distillery? For obvious reasons these tours are for the over 18s only, but they make a fantastic day out for couples or groups of friends. These tours run daily and take about one hour, and are followed by a tutored beer tasting session which lasts 30 minutes. Following this you will be able to go to the Adnams Cellar and Kitchen Store, where you can try a selection of their products – and collect a free bottle of beer! The tour costs just £12 per person, and is only a 40 minute drive from our scenic lodges.


Go Ape at Thetford Forest

Go Ape is perfect for families looking to try something different, as you get to climb up to 12 metres in the sky. For those who prefer to keep their feet on the ground, they have Segways available for you to navigate your way around the forest. Go Ape was the winner of the Suffolk Tourism Awards for the Best Tourism Experience in 2011, so is most definitely worth visiting with your young ones. This takes just over an hour to drive to from our lodges, so we advise that you plan to spend the whole day there to make the most of it.

Oasis Camel Park

Oasis Camel Park is perfect for animal lovers of all ages, and is the only specialist camel park in the UK. Here they host daily camel information talks, photo sessions and even training sessions. For an extra charge they are available to ride, along with donkeys and llamas. This is just a 25 minute drive from our complex and costs only £7.95 for adults. It closes on the 1st November, but will reopen again in March, so if you come to stay with us again next year it will be well worth visiting.

Beacon Rally Karts

Suitable for anyone over the age of five, Beacon Rally Karts allows adults and juniors to experience an exciting off-road journey. Here they have 3 different sized tracks to suit all ages, ranging from 150 metres to 570 metres. To visit Beacon Rally Karts from your lodge it will only take 25 minutes, so it is the ideal place to go for those not wanting to travel too far.


Discover Newmarket

If you are interested in horse racing then Newmarket is a wonderful place for you to visit, and is just an hour’s drive away. Discover Newmarket offers the opportunity to go for a behind the scenes tour to see the horses and to learn more about how they are trained and brought up. Here they have many different types of tours, one of the best being their National Stud Tour, where you can see the foals, mares and stallions.

Sailing Barge Cruises

There are numerous cruises available within a short drive from our lodges which can guide you through the beautiful rivers of East Anglia. Perfect for a romantic getaway, you can even have a 5* dinner on some of the cruises, whilst admiring the sunset. Some of these cruise boats are available to hire for private events, so you can even host your own party while sailing with them.
