My girlfriend has a photography project based around conservation and what it means and needs to do a couple of photo shoots of conservation areas/techniques.
I've got one nature reserve lined up for tonight that we're going to try, but we wanted to ideally have two or three different locations that she can include.
I'm just wondering if anyone on here knows of any possible locations that we could try. It can cover anything conservation based: nature reserves, historical locations, energy conservation etc.
Cheers |  | | |  |

What about Thorpeness as a setting?
Holiday village built in 1920's that has retained its character over a century, whilst also accepting some development. |  |

Not sure if any of these will help but you have languard fort in Felixstowe which has been reopened after a conservation project this link may help http://www.discoverlandguard.org.uk/assets/Documents/1339-27Landguard-PeninsulaO
Would make for some good photos too!
On the energy front you have sizewell up the a12 which sits in the Suffolk coastal aonb which also has an offshore wind farm next to it so you’ve got complete polar opposites with nuclear power and wind power, you can get some good shots from aldeburgh of both up the beach!

You've got a nature reserve with preserved military stuff in its midst.
And then you can reward yourself with a treat from the excellent Pump Street Bakery |  |

One of my favourite lesser known historical locations in Suffolk is Wenham Castle
https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1033405
Access is quite limited, there is a track that goes behind it to the church, but that makes it quite special in its own right. It is surrounded by Elizabethan buildings, houses and farm buildings. The wildlife around it is rich and abundant.
The castle and the houses are privately owned so I presume permission would be required to to get up close to them, but there is public access all the way around. |  |

Odd, I can't find this on Google Maps. Even Church Lane, Little Wenham doesn't appear to exist on there. Do you know which road I'd need to be on to locate it? | | | |

Finding Little Wenham wasn't the problem, finding the road/castle was | | | |

If you want a historical location how about Willy Lotts Cottage?
It's basically not changed in the 200 years since Constable painted it.

Does your girlfriend like doing photography out in the open air? Does she? I bet she does. Bet she does. | | | |

If you need an Ipswich location try the museum. If you want to travel somewhere more exotic there is IWM Duxford where there is plenty of photographic opportunities to photo blokes conserving fairly photogenic WW2 fighter planes. Not far from there is RSPB Fowlmere where they have done a lot of conservation on a stretch of chalk stream. | |

Further afield Lackford Lakes near Bury St Edmunds is a nice location for bird photography.
For older buildings, you can't beat Lavenham. 320* listed buildings.
*321 if you include the phone box. |  |
