We came to Lowestoft for a horse riding holiday and we loved it at Pakefield! The school is situated about a 10 min walk from the main pier and they have around 30 horses/pony’s of all sizes. We chose this riding holiday because of the beaches and it was an amazing experience to canter down a near empty beach on happy forward horses! Lowestoft have a main beach were the pier is located which I would have thought would be very busy a normal summer, but also a beach on the other side of town which was open to animals such as dogs unleashed and horses. One of the days we did a picnic ride to the school’s fields were the horses can graze and run around and John’s sandwiches were legendary! John is the husband of Tess day who opened the school in 1946 and they are both still involved! Tess has developed a disability friendly school which I was so happy to see, everyone should have the opportunity to ride! Thank you to all staff who made this a super fun experience!

Would definitely recommend Africa Alive. The park has a great collection of animals and a clean environment. Highlights included the Amazing African Animal show and the lemur walk through which both enable you to get up close and personal with the animals. I Recommend bringing your own food as there are limited facilities for eating and not a great range of options for gluten free.

Just a lovely walk under mature trees. Well kept pathways. Grandchildren love it. Especially the little ruined stone summerhouse which they think it a castle. Imaginations running wild!
5. Somerleyton Hall
Overall Ratings
4.0 based on 416 reviews
Somerleyton Hall is one of the finest Victorian Stately homes in the country. The hall and its surrounding 12-acre gardens are located on the Norfolk-Suffolk border. Lord and Lady Somerleyton open their doors to the public from Easter to September. Inside the house there is a pastiche of styles from high Victorian splendour in the chintz ballroom to the dark Jacobean Oak Parlour and the charming library with beautiful bookcases. There are many fine portraits of the Crossley family through the generations, tapestries, the famous Polar bears and the silver dining room service. An expert team of guides bring the fabulous hall to life with history tours that run throughout the day. Somerleyton Hall is also home to one of the finest yew hedge mazes in Britain, planted back in 1846. The route out is around 800 yards from the centre, but most visitors find it takes rather longer to solve the maze’s mysteries. A walled garden features beautiful and ornate iron and glass greenhouses designed

The maze was really good fun! . The rooms are well dressed in a variety of styles and the hall retains a family atmosphere as the current lord na d Lady Somerleyton are young and have young children. This makes the place living.

3 generations family visit with ample food for everyone. Menu has been selected due to COVID but all Iconic classics still available. Must of us had a meat feast including red meat, prawns and chicken and mum had a veggie burger. Cooked perfectly and in portion sizes to put you off eating for a week especially after you’ve wedged in a dessert. Make sure you ask for sauce if you order the chargrilled chicken burger.
7. Hollywood Cinema

Reviewed By alnstone - Sittingbourne, United Kingdom
We went to this cinema whilst staying locally for a mid week break. The cinema is housed in an old building which has been converted in to a multi-screen cinema. It looks modern and fresh and has been tastefully converted. It offers the usual range of confectionery, drinks and refreshments.The seats are very comfortable- they recline and allow plenty of leg room. The sound system is what you know take for granted. The admission cost was less than I am used to paying, which was an added bonus. All in all, an enjoyable experience and one that I would certainly repeat if I am on holiday in the area again. Highly recommended to all cinema goers.
