The Suffolk Coast

The Suffolk Coast is a National Landscape of sandy beaches, shingle shores, tidal estuaries, huge rivers, ancient heath, marshes and reedbeds. Enjoy sea air and wild countryside year-round before seeking sustenance in characterful pubs, cafes, tea rooms and restaurants. Explore traditional seaside at Felixstowe and Lowestoft or step back in time at set-in-aspic Aldeburgh and Southwold. Don’t miss Snape Maltings, home to music and food festivals, riverside Woodbridge and nearby Sutton Hoo, Britain’s Valley of the Kings, where Anglo Saxon King Raedwald’s burial ship and treasure was discovered. The Suffolk Coast is a delight for walkers and cyclists, exploring gently undulating coast and countryside. Come for the space, stay for the small discoveries.
