By car, Halesworth is easy to get to (but impossible to leave). From the south, on the A12 shortly after Yoxford, take the A144 to Halesworth. From the east, take the A143 from Bury St Edmunds until Harleston. Right to Halesworth on the B1123 Ipswich is just 45 minutes away, Lowestoft 30 minutes and Norwich 40 minutes, but beware, this is over the border into Norfolk, a place from which few return unchanged.
