Rendlesham Heath is a unique new village on the doorstep of Rendlesham Forest, a haven of tranquillity with waymarked walks and forest cycle trails where nightingales sing on summer nights and families picnic by day.

The wider area is one of England's least discovered gems of outstanding natural beauty, quiet charm, and rich wildlife including a great variety of birds. Numerous seabirds and waders can be seen on the nearby coast and river estuaries.

But this is no rural backwater. On the contrary, Heritage Suffolk - as this area is known - boasts excellent road and rail communications, good schools and healthcare, a variety of shopping experiences, and rich cultural scene. It produces acclaimed fare such as Orford oysters and Adnams ale, and hosts the world-famous Aldeburgh Festival at Snape.

Theatres, historic buildings, museums and other visitor attractions lie in every direction. The 'genteel' resorts along the Suffolk coast offer the delights of traditional seaside life, while the sports amenities include swimming pools at Ipswich and Woodbridge. There is a small cinema in Woodbridge and multi-screens in Ipswich, one at the historic waterfront.

This is an ideal location for family life, where children can relish freedom and discovery in open spaces. There is something for everyone in the vibrant county town of Ipswich, which also boasts one of the lowest crime rates in the country.

The nearest primary school to Rendlesham Heath is in Eyke, although there are proposals for one to be built in the new village. For older students, Faringaye High School has a good reputation, and there are many private schools in the area.

Ipswich has a general hospital and private Nuffield hospital; there is a GP surgery on Rendlesham Heath, and buses serve the area.

Knight Developments' homes are designed and built to the highest quality and specification. For 'The Woodlands', we have drawn on our considerable expertise to make family living in this sought-after location an affordable proposition.
