Bawdsey Manor
Built between 1886 and 1908, Bawdsey Manor (listed Grade II*) is a country mansion in a range of styles including gothic, Elizabethan, and Jacobean. It has a series of gardens laid out during the same period including an extensive artificial Pulhamite cliff looking out over the North Sea. To the south-west of the house are a series of terraces (listed Grade II) with red brick retaining walls and elaborate staircase. On the top terrace is a single-storey octagonal Tea House (listed Grade II). The grounds include a grotto-like tunnel leading into an enclosed round sunken Secret Garden and walled kitchen garden (listed Grade II) with elaborate gateway and lemonry (listed Grade II). It is now run as a large adventure centre for school and youth groups, plus providing self-catering holiday cottages and bed and breakfast accommodation for other activities.
