The drive

What the drive from Stowmarket is like

It's an A14 drive. About 14 of the 17 miles are on that one road, heading west past Bury St Edmunds, and it typically takes about 21 minutes off-peak. You'll spend the first couple of miles on the A1308 leaving Stowmarket, and the last stretch on local roads to Tut Hill.

We're on the far side of Bury St Edmunds from Stowmarket, so you'll pass the town on your way. As with any main road, allow extra at rush hour or if there are roadworks.

3Join the A14 westbound and stay on it for about 14 miles. You'll pass the other Bury St Edmunds junctions on the way.
4Leave the A14 at the Fornham All Saints slip road.
5Go straight over the double roundabout.
6Carry on past the new housing estate.
7Turn left at the third roundabout.
8Turn left again at the mini roundabout, onto Tut Hill. The shop is along it.

Sat nav warning

Tot Hill and Tut Hill: don't mix them up

Where to start

Where to head first once you're here

It's a fair drive, so it helps to know what's where. Here for fish? Start with fish and pond. The pets side is worth a look too.

Keeping a tank? Begin with the tropical fish and aquarium equipment. Got a pond? Head for the koi and pond kit. Bringing the family? Come with questions, not a shopping list of impulse buys.

Before you set off

Make the trip from Stowmarket count

1Write down your tank or pond size, and what already lives in it. It makes every answer better.
2Ring 01284 703418 about anything specific, such as a light, filter or test kit from D-D The Aquarium Solution, which lists us as a stockist. Stock changes, and a call before a 17-mile drive can save a wasted trip.
3Thinking marine? We can order in from TMC's range. Talk it through before you set off.
4Check the hours, especially on bank holidays, when it's best to look at our Facebook or call.
5Buying anything live? Ask us how best to carry it, head straight home and don't rush the decision. We'd rather you asked first.
