• General information

  Located in the heart of Suffolk, Sweffling Glamping Site offers a unique rural escape, positioned between the charming towns of Framlingham, Southwold, and Aldeburgh. This idyllic location is the perfect base for a glamping adventure, giving you easy access to Suffolk’s stunning coastline, filled with natural beauty and a wealth of activities.

  From the golden beaches of Lowestoft to the colourful houses of Aldeburgh, the nearby coastline is a haven for nature lovers and adventurers alike. Discover the rich history of the area, with attractions like Sutton Hoo, Orford Castle, and the Landguard Fort offering fascinating glimpses into Suffolk’s past.

  For those who love exploring, the coastal estuaries are a birdwatcher’s paradise, and the nearby towns, including Woodbridge and Snape, offer delightful experiences, from sailing on the River Deben to visiting the famous Snape Maltings. Don’t miss the opportunity to relax in Aldeburgh, where you can enjoy delicious fish and chips by the sea or take in the striking ‘Scallop’ sculpture by Maggi Hambling.

  Just a short drive away, you’ll find Southwold, a traditional seaside town perfect for a day on the beach, complete with a famous pier and the Adnams Brewery. Enjoy a portion of fish and chips or ice cream while you take in the sights, and return to your luxurious safari tent for a relaxing evening around the firepit. No matter what kind of glamping break you’re planning, the Lantern & Larks site at Sweffling offers something for everyone.
