Open 7 days a week, for a warm atmosphere and probably the best coffee and cake in Suffolk.

It's a dead end for roadies as there's only one tarmacked road to it but it's a nice ride and there's the Tinto Café horsebox at the car park, which does hot drinks, sandwiches and toasties, cakes and snacks. Officially it closes at 4pm but it was still serving at 4.30 when I was there, thankfully.

This is a great spot to sit back, relax and enjoy the views across the beautiful River Ore.

Rendlesham Forest is a beautiful and curious location in Suffolk, ideal for those interested in extraterrestrial encounters. Follow the trails and be taken on a journey through the forest where, in December 1930, a series of unexplained events and sightings occurred. Whether you want to join in on the fun of Rendlesham's mysterious past or not, the forest is still an excellent place to get out in nature and enjoy some fresh air and exercise.
