This is not entirely correct. The house with the rotunda was handed over to the National Trust in 1956. However, in the East Wing with its 60 rooms, the Marquesses of Bristol retained the right of residence for 99 years. In 1998, however, the Marquess ALSO sold this area to the NT. It was then converted into the noble "Ickworth Hotel" and leased by the NT (I have inserted a picture of the hotel) Sources Ickworth House Facts for Kids https://share.google/1CkmbgREgDiZh2jyK Ickworth's history | Suffolk | National Trust https://share.google/4FIj0lWw8mpCl7Gpw

At the NT car park, you can rent bikes (£8 for 2 hours) and explore the huge estate car-free. Alternatively, you can hike a bit; it's an idyllic landscape with a small river and numerous sheep.

Unfortunately, almost dried up in the summer heat. The trickle is a sad sight.

Now in a new and much better location on the High Street in Clare. Pastry lovers (and coffee lovers) should make a trip to Small Town a priority!

It's a vast, scenic estate to cycle through, mostly on compacted, dusty gravel, but there are chunkier bits in some parts. Entering through Horringer and exiting via Chevington worked for me.
