Coppin’s Farm lies on the edge of the picturesque Stour Valley, south of the ancient market town of Sudbury and North West of the large village of Bures. It surrounds the village of Alphamstone.

The scenic value at and around the farm is amongst the best in the county. There is a maze of sunken, traffic-free lanes to explore, along with dozens of footpaths that link to the new Stour Valley Path which runs to the north of the farm.

A neighbour keeps a small flock of rare breed sheep and makes full use of grazing on the farm. Since the fields have never been enlarged for modern machinery, they remain at their traditional small size and the farm therefore possesses most of its original hedgerows

There are numerous little lanes and numerous footpaths. It would be very easy to walk all day without encountering anything urban. There is also a “heritage” path called the Stour Valley path which joins Newmarket to the sea at Manningtree.
