60 Minutes from the Greatest Show on Earth......
In 2005 London was awarded the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games. This has provided Great Britain with a major sporting, social, cultural and business opportunity that will no doubt prove to be a massive boost for the economy leading up to the Olympics and for many years beyond. In the changing world of global tourism, Britain is set to capitalise from this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity...
The county of Suffolk in East Anglia is firmly behind the 2012 games and with it’s close proximity to London including great transport links, it’s a prime location to be based before, during and after. Ufford Park is less than 80 miles from London’s Olympic Park… far enough to escape the hustle and bustle of London but close enough for easy and speedy access. Whilst London will undoubtedly be the ‘showcase’ destination, Suffolk has so much to offer, whether you are on holiday with the family or attending the games. Suffolk guarantees stunning countryside, beautiful heritage coastline, culture, fabulous days out and a sunny climate.
Ufford Park Hotel, Golf & Spa is based near the historic town of Woodbridge, on the River Deben and in close proximity to Sutton Hoo, Rendlesham Forest, Framlingham Castle, Snape Maltings, Minsmere Bird Sanctuary and the beautiful Suffolk Coastline of Aldeburgh & Southwold.
We have unrivalled facilities such as a championship par 71 18 hole golf course, two tier floodlit driving range, state of the art Thermal Suite Spa, health club with newly refurbished gymnasium and much more…..
With 87 comfortably appointed ensuite bedrooms, many of which have balconies overlooking the 120 acre parkland golf course, we really have something for everyone!
The official tourism website for East Anglia is 'Visit East of England' www.visiteastofengland.com. The site is a visitors guide to the region, designed to ensure that you make the most from your day out, short break or holiday in the area.
