Staverton Park, Suffolk, ‘a famous and awesome place of Tolkienesque wonder and beauty’, and ‘one of the best-preserved uncompartmented medieval parks’. Oliver Rackham, The History of the Countryside, 1986. It's also the location of the 'Lunch Tree' in the detectorists, magical.

Blaxhall Common or Heath is an area of heathland surrounded by Tunstall forest. It's a nature reserve and SSSI. Rare butterflies including the Silver-studded blue are found here as well as Nightjars, Woodlark and Adders.
