Travel & Stay

Wilderness Reserve is a 6000-acre estate of woodland, lakes and rolling pasture, sprinkled with an eclectic collection of historic and lovingly restored Suffolk houses, located just 2 hours from London. 

We have rented Wilderness Reserve’s Sibton Park Estate for our wedding weekend. With a reception at the gate, it is identifiable by a chalkboard sign outside.

Once you have collected your keys, the Wilderness team will escort you directly to your property.

Sibton Park Reception: 
Yoxford Road, Sibton 
Suffolk, IP17 2LZ

Getting There

The closest international airport is Norwich International, which is approximately 40 miles away. London Stansted is also easily accessible at approximately 78 miles.

London Heathrow will likely provide the most flexible flight options, including nonstop from the US. From Heathrow, connections by rail are fairly seamless.

Planes

The nearest train station to Wilderness Reserve is Darsham (2.3 miles/3.7 km away, 5 min drive). Taxis can be arranged from Darsham.

Alternatively, Diss Station (Greater Anglia, direct from London, 20 miles/32 km and 30 min away) and Ipswich Station (Greater Anglia, direct from London, 27 miles/43 km and 45 min away) are also options.

Trains

We recommend inputting the estate reception postcode (IP17 2LZ) into your GPS, instead of your individual property. 

If driving from London, exit via the M11 and then follow the A12 to Ipswich. Merge onto the A14 and A12 until you reach Wilderness Reserve.
