Sports & Activities

Just a short car journey from Framlingham, and part of the Suffolk & Essex National Landscape, Rendlesham Forest is a wonderful, extensive mainly coniferous, birdlife-rich plantation, with paths, ideal for easy exploring and forest adventures for all ages. Family-friendly children’s play areas/ equipment, waymarked walking and cycling trails, and plenty of places to picnic. A place to enjoy for a day and even see where UFOs were allegedly sighted! There is also a large camping and caravanning site near the visitor centre area.

Impressive gates lead to the Framlingham community’s favourite place for family picnics and play time. Everyone is welcome to enjoy ‘The Pageant’. As well as  two well-equipped play areas, Pageant Field has pitches and equipment for other sports and activities, including a popular skatepark. Traditionally it plays hosts to a number of community events throughout the year.
