Where Are We? Alder Carr Farm is situated between the village of Creeting St Mary, and the market town of Needham Market in Suffolk. For a map of how to find us please click here. By Road The farm is within 5 minutes drive of the A14. From Creeting St Mary, take St Mary's Road and turn left just before the river. From Needham Market, take Hawks Mill Street and turn right just after the river. By Train The farm is also easily accessible by train, with only a short walk from Needham Market train station. From the station you can take one of the two following routes: Short Route: Take the low pedestrian tunnel to the left of the station building to reach the meadows on the other side of the railway tracks. Turn left and walk across the meadow until you reach Crown Street. Walk all the way along the road until you reach a bridge on your right which crosses the River Gipping. Walk across the bridge and then along the tarmac footpath which follows the river. After a short distance you will come out onto our driveway which has a large sign. Turn right down the drive until you reach the farm shop. Longer more Scenic Route: Take the low pedestrian tunnel to the left of the station building to reach the meadows on the other side of the railway tracks. Turn right parallel to the railway in Station Field and then left after entering the local nature reserve, at the first crossing hedge. Walk on the well defined path across the grass, following the route as it bears right towards Needham Lake. When you reach a tarmac path turn left and follow the new path around the lake and alongside the River Gipping to arrive at the car park, visitor centre and toilets. As you enter the car park, on your left is a bridge which crosses the River Gipping. Walk across the bridge and follow the path along the river for about 500m. You will pass the Wildwood and lots of fields, some of which are ours. As you approach the end of the path you will see a kissing gate and a bridge (crossing back over the River Gipping). Go through the kissing gate and turn right and follow the tarmac footpath, along the river on your left. After a short distance you will come out onto our driveway which has a large sign. Turn right down the drive until you reach the farm shop. For a list of train times click here.
