There is a fantastic path following the edge of this reservoir which can be great for a bike ride or a very long walk! Bikes can be hired out in the summer, and there is plenty of wildlife to keep a look out for.

Food Scene

The Black Buoy is a local pub, fantastic for drink and food. Dog friendly, this place tends to be heaving with people, so I would advise to prebook to ensure a meal! Lovely outside patio area which is gorgeous in the summer!

Another fantastic place to eat out, The Crown is renowned for its food. Quite far into the countryside, the views are amazing as it's located pretty much in the Dedham Vale.

A beautiful walk along the river stour, as well as a chance to hire out some rowing boats, and have a laugh on the river itself. The Boathouse restaurant is also great for a coffee stop as well as an ice-cream in the summer!

The school itself was once based in Greenwich before moving to Holbrook, hence why the buildings are effectively a replica of those that can be seen up in London. The grounds are never ending, and there is a small museum on the grounds based on its history. It's maritime heritage means that there are traditional parades preformed by the students which are fantastic.
