We’re incredibly proud that Wyken has been named a finalist for the Regenerative Tourism Award at the 2027 Suffolk & Norfolk Tourism Awards.
This one means a great deal to us, because regeneration is at the heart of everything we do at Wyken. For us, it means caring for this corner of Suffolk in a way that leaves the soil healthier, the estate richer in wildlife and our rural community stronger.
Caring for the land
As a family, we’ve spent decades looking after the land at Wyken and making more room for nature. Today, our 16 acres of wetland sit alongside ancient woodland and land managed through conservation grazing. On the farm, caring for the soil is part of how we grow food and rear livestock. We also use woodchip as a source of renewable heat on the estate.
A taste of Wyken
At the Leaping Hare, the menu follows the seasons. What’s ready to pick from our gardens helps shape what comes out of the kitchen, alongside meat reared on the estate and ingredients from local producers. Our vineyard wines are poured in the restaurant, and our farmers’ markets give visitors the chance to meet some of the Suffolk producers and makers whose work we’re proud to share.
Getting closer to nature
One of our favourite things about welcoming people to Wyken is seeing them discover a side of the estate they might otherwise miss. On a Dawn Chorus walk, you can hear the estate wake up and learn to pick out individual birdsong. A walk through the ancient woodland offers a quieter way to spend time here, with something different to notice each season.
Being shortlisted is a lovely moment for everyone who cares for the land and welcomes people to Wyken. And whether you’ve joined us for an early morning walk, sat down to lunch at the Leaping Hare or made a visit to the farmers’ market part of your week, thank you for being a part of it.
