Magazine
Hello, and a very warm welcome to the first edition of Manningtree Life,
a magazine dedicated to celebrating all that is wonderful about living
in this charming part of the country.
Situated close to the Essex and Suffolk border and located in an Area of
Outstanding Natural Beauty along the Suffolk Coast on the side of the
River Stour, Manningtree is widely acknowledged as one of Britain's
most desirable places to live.
Live here and watch colourful sailboats glide by, swim in bracing waters, or take long,
leisurely strolls in the stunning Suffolk countryside that so inspired the English romantic
artist, John Constable.
Grab a coffee from one of the lively cafes, browse the myriad of independent shops along the
historic high street, or sample locally produced food served in the many restaurants and bars,
both in Manningtree and the lively towns and villages beyond.
With its brilliant connectivity, less than an hour’s train journey to London, as well as offering easy
access to outstanding countryside, Manningtree really does offer the very best of both worlds.
In this edition we take a closer look at why people love living in Manningtree, highlight some
of the amazing local schools and introduce you to our award-winning new development
Manningtree Park, and all that it has to offer – including its very own flock of rare-breed sheep.
We hope you enjoy our first edition.
