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 events. With a reception at the gate, it is identifiable by a chalkboard sign outside.
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.

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.

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.

Nearby Accommodations
We've highlighted some of our favorite nearby accommodation options below, though there are plenty of wonderful options, including guest houses and Airbnb, not listed here.
As our wedding events falls over a UK bank holiday weekend, we recommend booking your accommodations as early as possible since hotels and short-term rentals will book up quickly.
While transportation will not be provided to and from Wilderness Reserve should you choose to stay off-site, there is plenty of parking available once you arrive for the events. That said, we highly encourage you to pre-book a taxi well in advance so you can enjoy the open bar to the fullest!
