Newmarket is a destination that has loads of cool stories to tell. If you think your life's been a bit vanilla lately, a trip here is the perfect answer!
It lies 90 kilometres to the northeast of England's capital, London.
Cambridge is just 20 kilometres away and is home to some great things to see and do. The Trinity College and the King's College alone justify the trip. If you're still not convinced, you should also take a look at the St. John's College.
St. Osyth Beach and Cromer Beach are perfect to visit if you're searching for somewhere to sit back and unwind.
You'll find an assortment of nice natural sights outside of Newmarket. Why not take off 45 kilometres to Hatfield Forest? Alternatively, soak up some of Mother Nature's finest work at Wayland Wood, 45 kilometres away.
Exploring the National Horseracing Museum will teach you a little more about the local culture and the many people who reside here.
Are you a serious sports buff? Then you'll want to check the event schedule at National Stud, located 3 kilometres to the southwest in United Kingdom.
Enthusiasts of winter sports love staying in Newmarket, as it offers easy access to Chatham Ski and Snowboard Centre and Norfolk Snowsports Club. Be sure to pack your warmest gear! This mountain can get decidedly chilly.
If you're considering venturing further afield, go 18 kilometres south to Haverhill. This is where you'll discover the Haverhill Arts Centre and Clare Ancient House Museum. We also recommend trying out Bury St Edmunds, 20 kilometres to the east, for the Athenaeum and theatre Royal.
Gainsborough's House, the Long Melford Heritage Centre and Kentwell Hall are all very close to Sudbury, 30 kilometres to the southeast. Want a few more reasons to visit? Holy Trinity Church and Melford Hall aren't far away either.
Titillate your taste buds and fill your Instagram with appetising snaps by tasting some of the area's excellent food and drink offerings. Just remember to hashtag 'yum'!
Do you want to know some of the popular ingredients used in the local kitchens? Prepare to taste fish and lamb in a few of your meals.
Of course, you can't head home from Newmarket without sampling a plate of bangers and mash (sausages with mashed potatoes) or ploughman’s lunch (cheese, bread, pickles and cold cuts). Popular with locals and considered signature recipes, they are an essential experience for anyone with an interest in food.
Calories don't count when you're on holiday, right? So it's the perfect excuse to treat your sweet tooth to some spotted dick (sponge pudding of dried fruits with custard), a favourite dessert.
Is there anything more pleasurable than tossing back an ice-cold glass of beer with a frothy, white head? Satiate your thirst and make friends with the locals over a couple of rounds of Yorkshire Bitter.
For something with a bit more kick, order a couple of shots of Bombay Saphire Gin. Drink it as it is or ask your bartender for any mixer recommendations.
Begin your evening in fine fashion with a glass of a local speciality like Denbies Pinot Gris or Chapel Down Chardonnay. Taste for texture, structure and balance, or simply have a bottle with your friends.
It might be time to go, but your trip will likely live on. Your friends and family will be asking to see photographs of the breathtaking Suffolk region for weeks to come!
Stansted Airport (STN) is the closest terminal, 40 kilometres to the south. Ensure you leave yourself ample time to get there.
The Newmarket Boutique Apartments and Rutland Arms are worth checking out. If you like what you see, you better move fast! These digs are prized for their comfortable beds and welcoming staff.
