Polstead Duck Pond

Highlight • Lake

The name Polstead means place by the pool. The benches by the village pond are a great spot to rest and enjoy the peace of a classic Suffolk village, surrounded by history, and picture perfect timber-framed and thatched cottages.

Polstead Community Shop & Café

Highlight • Cafe

Little shop that does Tea/Coffee, and has a table or two outside.

They have a delivery of really good cookies etc on a Tuesday. None left later in the week.

Kersey Ford

Highlight • Bridge

Very pretty Suffolk village.
Extreme caution if you’re thinking of riding through the ford, it gets very slippery. My advice is to use the foot bridge!
