Description: Southwold is a town in the Waveney district of Suffolk, East Anglia, England, at the mouth of the River Blyth.

Newest Review: ... at 100 feet tall, dominates the town centre. It is open several times a year for visitors. I highly recommend joining the queue and going in - the stairs are some the steepest and scariest I have ever seen, but the view from the top is amazing, and the mechanism of the lighthouse must be seen. At night you can see the comforting lighthouse lights winking across the fields and the beach for ... more

Premium Review Southwold in General: The best English seaside resort in the country! (789 words)

Southwold is a quintessentially English seaside town, located on the most easterly part of the Norfolk coast. It is a totally unique place, with a real ale brewery, a working lighthouse, a lovely pier, great shops selling works of art as well as designer clothes, a fantastic beach, great pubs, and much more! The town remains old fashioned and untouched by commercialism. It is possibly most famous for its extremely pretty rows of beach huts, which can be found reproduced in the art galleries around the town. There are around 300 brightly painted beach huts stretching along the seafront, all ex-fishermens huts which now have sold for as much as £90,000 - a very ...  Read the complete review

Southwold has to be one of my favourite places to visit. it has something for everyone and to me is the perfect holiday destiniation! To start, there is a beautiul sandy beach, lined by the most amazing beach huts! leading out to the sea is the pier with its typical arcade games as well as lovely little pier shops and the end of the pier show with its quirky machines and contraptions. At the other end of Southwold is a lovely little shopping area with the most amazing shops... including the very best cheese shop in the world! There is also an array of places to eat and the most amazing fish and chip shop (once voted one of Englands best) where you ...  Read the complete review

Southwold what a quaint little seaside town. Known for the adnams brewery. Full of tiny little cottages and clean beach. Used to have a horse drawn dray that delivered beer to the numerous amount of public houses in the town a good place for a pub crawl. A must to try the beer, you haven't been to Southwold if you don't It not gone commercialised like many seaside towns so the quieter view of the sea is ensured here. the spectacular hotels and numerous little shops keep this town a little haven by the sea. One of the best features is the wonderous church in the town, it was part of the inspector morse series. Thats the other ...  Read the complete review
