The pretty village of Tattingstone lies on the peninsula between the rivers Stour and Orwell, 5 miles south west of Ipswich.

The White Horse is located in a picturesque rural setting on White Horse Hill, near to Alton Water, just off the A137.

The Tattingstone Wonder is one of the most famous follies in Britain. It started life as a pair of cottages, until in the 1790s Squire White decided to improve the view from Tattingstone Place. He built a third cottage on the end and topped it with a square flint church tower. The front of the cottages was then replaced by a facade with two gothic windows plus a large rose window on the south eastern wall.

Alton Water is a vast man-made lake, created in the 1970s and 80s to supply drinking water to the people of South Suffolk.

There's plenty to do on and around the water. A footpath runs around the perimeter plus there's a wildlife sanctuary. On the water itself there are various water sports on offer including angling, sailing and windsurfing.

Alton Water is a great day out for nature lovers, bird watchers and water sports enthusiasts alike.
