getting here
we are situated at the rear of the White Horse Inn, Sweffling - which is on the B1119 about halfway between Saxmundham and Framlingham.

take the A12 towards Ipswich. Stay on the A12 past the 1st turning to Saxmundham, and you'll come to a staggered junction for the B1119. Turn right onto this road, signposted Rendham & Framlingham (also with a brown tourist sign for ‘Carlton Meres’), and follow the road through Rendham you'll pass the other White Horse Inn (in Rendham) on the right, and Rendham church on your left - you are only half a mile away now. Stay on the road as it bends to the right and you'll see a 20mph sign. The Sweffling White Horse is just past this sign, on the right hand side as the road bends round to the left. Turn right just before the pub and you will find the car park and the entrance to Alde Garden.
