Westleton Heath is full of blooming heather in summer, but now in September the heather is nearly out of bloom but it still looks lovely. Lovely spot for dog walking but you must keep them on a lead until August to protect the variety of birds nesting.

October is the most exciting time of year to watch our deer as they engage in fierce mating battles. The three largest species of deer (red, fallow and sika) all rut in the autumn and the red variety is in Westleton.

Rutting activity is most intense soon after dawn, though some activity occurs throughout the day. Deer are interesting to watch because their behaviour changes as the rut progresses.

But remember that male deer are pumped full of testosterone and highly aggressive; in parks, attacks on dogs are not uncommon and sometimes people are also injured. So don’t get too close.

Copperbeech Bed and Breakfast

5/5 Excellent

"We had a wonderful time at Copper Beech. The room was perfect for the three of us, with everything we could possibly need, and the breakfast was the best we’ve had in a very long time! The location was ideal for exploring Aldeburgh, with some great pubs nearby for dinner. Thank you for a perfect stay!"
