All Saints Church, Icklingham

Highlight • Religious Site

All Saints is a Grade I-listed church with a distinctive thatched-roof. The church, which has 11th century origins but largely dates to the 14th century, has not been used for over 100 years. As such, it is one of the best examples of an unspoilt Suffolk church you can observe. There is some beautiful stained glass in the church, too, which has miraculously survived since the 14th century.

The Purple Pantry

Highlight • Cafe

Farm shop, deli & cafe, right on the Icknield way. There's outside seating and they were happy for us to fill up water bottles from the outside tap.
