Holiday cottages in Needham Market are close to the banks of the River Gipping, in the county of Suffolk. This historic town has a rich heritage as a regional centre for the wool industry, and is known for its fine architecture. One of its most distinctive landmarks is the 15th century parish church of St. John the Baptist, featuring a unique double-hammerbeam roof. Exploring the town centre from your holiday cottage in Needham Market, you will also notice medieval almshouses, the 18th century Quaker Meeting House, and a graceful Victorian railway station. On the eastern edge of the town, there is a nature reserve with footpaths along the banks of lakes, and through woods and wildflower meadows.
