The Suffolk Punch Trust is a charity-run stud in Hollesley, Suffolk, dedicated to preserving the critically endangered Suffolk Punch horse breed. Set on a 120-acre farm within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, it's historically been a place to see foals, learn about the breed's story, and view resident horses such as Supreme Champion Colony Eli. Please note the site is currently closed to the public for general visits, with activity focused on the Colony Stud's breeding, foaling and livery services for horse owners. It suits those with an interest in rare breeds and equine heritage. If visiting the area, Melton station is 5.7 miles away, Waldringfield beach 4.8 miles away, and there are 9 bookable stays within 5 miles on BritStays.
