Local Activities

Kersey is one of England's chocolate box villages with a stunning hilltop church, beautiful thatched cottages and an ancient ford running through the centre of the village complete with resident ducks

Long before Shakespeare's time Kersey was famous for "Kersey cloth" which made the village prosperous. You'll notice the large first floor windows as you take a stroll around the village, these were to give as much light to the weavers as possible. The ford or splash as the locals call it, is actually a tributary of the River Brett which flows through Hadleigh. It's a lovely spot in the summer and great for children who can paddle or feed the ducks. See if you can see the fox's tail hanging outside one of the cottages to indicate the vet in olden times.

Kersey has its own small pottery producing distinctive stoneware. This pottery uses a special blend of local materials to achieve a spectrum of glazes with unusual textures and flashes of iridescent colour with each individual piece having six or more glaze applications. They bring a stylish twist to the term souvenir!

And we must not forget our local hostelry, The Bell is a 20 minute walk for good food, drink and pleasant company.
