Old Buckenham Hall
(OBH) is set in its own spacious seventy-five acre
Suffolk estate. It is located 15 miles south of the
historical town of Bury St Edmunds and 20 miles west
of Ipswich. Bordered on all sides by the Suffolk countryside,
the OBH centre offers some of the best panoramic views
in the county. It is a quiet location that has evolved
specifically for children under the age of 13. It
combines an old English charm with a modern and stimulating
environment.
The centre offers top class facilities, which include hard
and grass tennis courts, astro-turf football pitch, 2 squash
courts, indoor sports hall, a 2000 yard 9 hole golf course,
an outdoor swimming pool and an adventure course.
