Had my picnic blanket, basket and its contents stolen on friday, including a brand new blue hydroflask and plenty of food. As well as the rubbish being thrown out of it and littered across the field. Apparently nobody saw a thing which i find hard to believe since it’s such a desolate place.

Trinity Park Camping rather undersells this place, it’s as much a woodland and heathland walk as a campsite. Well-laid-out paths wind through the trees and heath before running behind Ipswich Golf Club. Camping itself is very basic, with no toilets, electricity or other facilities, but it’s wonderfully peaceful. There’s a lay-by on Bucklesham Road that you can park on.
