The small village of Thorpeness is dominated by the Mere, which is popular all year round and bears witness to the village’s fantastical past. In 1910 Stuart Ogilvie bought the hamlet and set to transform it into a private fantasy holiday village. Today the village is just how Ogilvie envisaged it with pretty mock Tudor houses and the fairy-tale ‘House in the Clouds’.
Thorpeness has a lovely pebble beach, the famous mere, and a few cafes. We suggest a walk along the beach to nearby Aldeburgh and back.
