Melford Hall

Home to the Hyde Parker family for 240 years, set in picturesque garden and parkland. Explore the history of Melford Hall and trace its evolution through the centuries, from its ownership by Benedictine monks to its royal connections and visits by Beatrix Potter.
Walk around the acres of parkland with routes that include views of the Suffolk countryside, village and resident livestock.
Have a look at our walled gardens with herbaceous borders, woodland corner and lawns with topiary, espaliered fruit trees and a reflecting pond.
