If you don't fancy a soaking, you can watch and smile, as victim after victim gets soaked on Timber Falls log flume.
If the kids are still on a high, buzzing with energy, you can relax in the Terrace Caf and 'recharge the batteries' with a good ol' cuppa tea, while the kids run wild in the adventure playground.

The course has a number of races through the year with the Rowley mile having meeting April to May and then again for Sept to Nov. Despite it's name the July course has meeting from June to August.

A popular thing to do in Suffolk is to see how real beer is brewed using natural ingredients and traditional brewing methods.
The tour takes you through this historic working Brew House explaining the different stages. Afterwards you can enjoy tasting the different cask beers from their Brewery Tap. Green King IPA is one of my own favourite drinks and I'm envious of all those about to go on the brewery tour.
For anyone who is about to celebrate a birthday, retirement, stag or hen night the evening tour is a great way to start the celebration. However, please note that the tours get booked up in advance and it is important to contact them prior to your visit.
The Bungay Loop takes you along a stretch of the River Waveney known for its placid, crystal clear waters and easy navigation. Canadian canoes are the perfect choice for a leisurely paddle on a warm summer day and can be hired locally. The loop takes about three hours unless you stop off for a picnic or break.
Canoeing on the Bungay Loop is a great way to experience river life and you can combine a nature trail with a canoeing safari. Canoes have the advantage of being totally silent, allowing you to get closer to wildlife whilst enjoying the beautiful landscape. The stretch of river from Earsham to Ellingham is ideal for spotting wildlife and butterflies, otters, swans, kingfishers and herons are all regular visitors.
Landguard Fort in Felixstowe has been an important part of the local defences for centuries helping to ward off invaders as far back as Tudor Times. It was originally designed to guard the entrance to Harwich and has been modified many times since then. During the Second World War, it became one of the balloon launch sites of Operation Outward, for attacks on Germany.
However, recently it has started to attract attention due to strange activities. Visitors as well as local people, have experienced unusual sightings in or around the Fort. The most common sighting is the image of a sailor looking out of the top right window (the side visible from the road). Most reporting's were in the 1990s, but occasionally there are still reports of lights at night and being "pushed" whilst visiting the top floors.
Framlingham Castle is a magnificent 12th century fortress with a long and colourful past that has included periods were it was once the refuge of Mary Tudor before she became Queen in 1553.

Today Framlingham is a grade 1 listed building
owned by English Heritage and open as a tourist attraction for all to see. Visitors
are able to walk along the walls and see some spectacular views over the surrounding
landscape. English Heritage has also provided a self-
