Thorpeness Meare

Thorpeness is a seaside village with a unique and whimsical atmosphere, perfect for a family holiday. The village is dominated by the Meare, a large artificial boating lake that covers over 60 acres and features various islands and inlets. The Meare was created in the early 20th century and was inspired by J.M. Barrie's Peter Pan stories. Visitors can rent boats and explore the lake, which has a maximum depth of three feet, making it a safe and enjoyable experience for children. The village also features the 'House in the Clouds', a unique water tower that appears to float in the air. The surrounding area is home to the North Warren RSPB reserve, a nature reserve with wildlife and habitat conservation and nature trails
