THORPENESS

Thorpeness, a charming village on the Suffolk coast, is a unique blend of whimsy and history. Originally a small fishing hamlet, it was transformed in the early 20th century by Glencairn Stuart Ogilvie into a fantastical holiday village. The village is renowned for its picturesque Meare, an artificial boating lake inspired by J.M. Barrie's Peter Pan, complete with islands and hidden treasures. The iconic House in the Clouds, a former water tower turned quirky holiday home, and the charming windmill add to the village's fairy-tale ambiance. Thorpeness offers a delightful escape with its blend of natural beauty and architectural whimsy.
