Open to the public only on event days. For the rest of the year this site is an environmental education centre, welcoming classes and groups from across Suffolk and Essex.
We saw some information suggesting that Daws Hall had an open day, and having visited when I was back in primary school I thought it was a good opportunity for a much more recent look. Unfortunatly the weather was not on our side and some of the roads on the way there (and more so on way back) were a little on the wet side..! We got parked up and was greeted in the education centre area. The area covers multiple types of nature areas including a few ponds, river, woodland and meadows. We saw lots of ducks on the pond, but we also found lots of different mushrooms as we wondered. It was a very wet day so we didn't stay as long as we could have, but it was still an interesting visit - we felt it was well worth getting drenched for!
Lovely place, great for kids and very informative, only open to public occasionally for a nature trail, the lady hosting was very good and helpful, advice is to take a picnic for lunch, there are toilets if you get caught short
Thoroughly enjoyed wandering here. Decided to reacquaint with the site as snowdrops trail relatively short. An enchanting place to immerse in nature and perhaps your own thoughts. A delight to see in the fenced garden. Entry was by donation, however there are signs with the suggested amounts.
Advertised online as donation for entry, but says PS7 each when you get there. Then made to feel awful when we didn't have enough money with us. Beautiful setting, small area with plenty of snow drops.
It is avery biodiverse site with a lot of interesting and uncommon species, well maintained, and very rich in flora. However, it is rarely open to the public, and things like the beehives have fallen into neglect in recent years.
This was an off the cuff visit based on an article in the local paper. What a find. There are open days for the public so not open all the time. The open days are to raise funds for charity. PS7 to get in, well worth it. The rose garden has over 100 old fashion scented roses, the smell was amazing. The garden leads you into woodland and into a nature reserve which was lovely on a sunny day and then ends back at the garden. We were there for 3 hours and it was very enjoyable. We were lucky to spot a bird of prey nest but couldn't identify the bird. There's a cafe there. A lovely visit and will look out for future open days.
