  • Six coarse fishing ponds on a small family-run farm
  • In a walker's paradise a few miles from the Suffolk coast
  • Shop on site selling bait
Fancy some farm fishing? Field Farm Fisheries is a small, family-run and friendly farm in Wrentham, Suffolk, stuffed to the gills with coarse fish over its six good-sized fishing ponds. The farm is also a top spot for wanders, as it has easy access to excellent walks nearby, and for coastal and seaside days, as the Suffolk coast is only a few miles away. Southwold, Walberswick, Halesworth and Beccles are all within a short drive. The well-kept amenities at this peaceful place include four showers, toilet blocks, hot water taps, two washing-up sinks, a fresh water supply and a chemical waste disposal point. The angling on site covers all ages and ability levels; there's also a shop on site with a good selection of bait and tackle maggots. (Fishing is subject to an extra charge, payable on the bank.)

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked: Locality for Beccles, clear skies with no light pollution, getting away from the hustle and bustle.

Disliked: 'Functional' toilets, just a lack of love generally

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Glad you enjoyed the clear skies Not sure what this comment means, as the site is very clean and tidy “lack of love generally” Also, you scored me an eight for accommodation. It is your accommodation. we didn’t provide you with accommodation

Excellent site with clean facilities.

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked: I received a friendly welcome to Field Farm Fisheries. Everything I needed to know about rules, facilities and local information was pleasantly and clearly conveyed. Camping areas are spacious and although some parts are uneven, I found plenty of room available in the flat area. The toilet and shower facilities are fairly basic but ultimately very clean and perfectly functional. Cold showers are free but you will need a £1 coin to operate the hot water timer (you get 5 minutes), which I considered to be more than acceptable considering the pitch price. I visited St Andrews Church which was built inside the ruins of another church .... a 1 hour walk from the camp site, and also the beach at Covehithe, around 15 minutes walk from the church. Wrentham village is a 20 minute walk and offers a cafe, pub and shops. There are many other relatively local attractions including museums, nature reserves, seaside towns and the Norfolk Broads, all well within a sensible driving distance. I would consider Field Farm Fisheries camp site an ideal base for exploring local attractions and I'm confident that I will return soon.

Disliked: There was nothing I disliked.

Liked: Field Farm Fisheries is such a peaceful campsite. There was lots of space between pitches with all the facilities that we needed. It’s in a great location, only 15 minutes from Southwold, Beccles, Dunwich. We had such a lovely few days there.

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked: The site was was very clean toilets near by showers, 6 lakes everything was great also the owners very welcoming will be returning again

Disliked: Shower £1 only gives you 5mins i have long hair not enough to take a shower

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your review. Glad you enjoyed your stay with us. You can put £2 in the shower, which would give you 10 minutes. We put a timer on there so that people aren’t waiting for the showers.

Local attractions

Among the Field Farm Fisheries family's most topping local picks is a day at Southwold a few miles away, for the local brewery tours, beach, museum and spectacular Southwold Pier. The town's Henham Park is also the venue for the theatre events, dance, film, cabaret and more at the annual Latitude Festival. Southwold is part of the Suffolk Coast and Heaths AONB, covering towns including Aldeburgh and Dunwich as well as marsh, heathland and shingle beach. The AONB is crossed by three long-distance walking trails: the Suffolk Coast Path, the Sandlings Walk and the Stour and Orwell Walk. For a sandy beach day, head to the coastal town of Great Yarmouth (at the mouth of the River Yare, geddit?), or to the two beaches and harbour of Lowestoft, the North Sea town that's the most easterly settlement in the UK. If you're yearning for more outdoors, Britain’s biggest wetland the Broads National Park is a spiffing nearby option for boating, biking, hiking and wildlife watching along its seven rivers, 63 broads, 28 Sites of Special Scientific Interest and eight national nature reserves. Or have a themed family day out at Pleasurewood Hills theme park and Africa Alive! wildlife park, both within a short drive.
