Enjoy the beauty of the Suffolk countryside and our sunken garden here at Rougham Estate.
With the sun shining at last, and the warmer weather allowing us to be outside without coats, there is no better way to spend time with the family than with nature and a beautiful cup of coffee from Roots Cafe.
Our sunken garden is really taking hold now – it’s been a year since it was planted and developed. It’s simply a tranquil and beautiful space.
Our gardener Lucy Baker captured these shots after tending to the area earlier this week ❤️
We hope to see you soon.
