FALCON Park is an established park home development for the semi-retired and retired, acquired by Tingdene in August 2003. It is situated on the outskirts of the village of Martlesham Heath, just to the east of the thriving town of Ipswich and within easy reach of many important amenities.

One of the major features of the park is the picturesque heathland setting, which offers a wonderful array of colour throughout the year, and is a haven for a wide variety of birds and wildlife. An exclusive new development has been created next to the existing park with new plots available now. Brand new infrastructure and services are being installed, ensuring Falcon Park remains one of the most sought-after developments in the area.

A superstore and retail park are within easy walking distance of Falcon Park, and there are rail and bus links from Ipswich to further afield.

The village of Martlesham Heath, which is centred on a green, with a pub, church and cricket pavilion, is ideally situated for easy access into the town of Ipswich, which boasts excellent shopping and entertainment facilities, along with historic sites, buildings and 12 medieval churches.

History highlights Ipswich as the birthplace of Cardinal Wolsey, but the story of Suffolk’s county town starts much earlier than that. A port since the time of the Romans, by the 7th century the Anglo-Saxons had expanded it into the largest port in the country.

Suffolk itself has many attractions, including 40 miles of Heritage Coast, almost all of which is set in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, so there is a feeling of peace and tranquillity even in the height of summer. The rich and varied landscape from the coastal towns and resorts to the rolling farmland offers the visitor a wonderful variety of experiences.

Rich in history and culture, and possessing a proud association with the arts, it is a part of the country which effortlessly inspires discovery and creativity, results of which can be found in the works of many distinguished writers, artists and musicians.

You will discover miles of walks and cycle trails along the coast, plus an abundance of bird and wildlife, as the area is home to the RSPB’s flagship reserve, Minsmere. There are a wealth of things to do and see, including pretty villages and market towns, interesting boutiques and antique shops, churches, castles, historic houses and Anglo-Saxon burial sites.
