YOXFORD

Today's weather: A lovely bright sunny day and not too cold.

Yoxford is a lovely village in North Suffolk surrounded by the parkland of three country houses in an area known as the “Garden of Suffolk”. The village derives its name from the River Yox that flows through the village and a ford that crossed the river near to the entrance to Cockfield Hall.
