Heveningham

The tiny village of Heveningham lies on the banks of the River Blyth, in the county of Suffolk, in Southeast England. It is set amid unspoiled countryside, with footpaths through tranquil fields and woods to explore. Heveningham holiday cottages are also a stone’s throw from the Sussex Heaths and Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, where enchanting forests, marshland, estuaries and shingle beaches await discovery. The narrow lanes which lead into the village are lined with hedgerows and historic stone cottages. In the centre of Heveningham, St Mary’s Church is a listed building with a distinctive perpendicular shape, built in 1539.
