Villages & Resorts in Suffolk in general

I've lived in Suffolk most of my life, so I've gotten to know a bit about it, or "aboot at" as we say round here. I'll focus on East Suffolk, which includes the coast, as otherwise this will be far too long! Suffolk is becoming far more popular as a destination, both for weekends and increasingly for longer holidays. Many people head for the Suffolk Heritage coast, and that is a good choice. Frequented by artists for many years for the wide landscapes and dramatic skies, the Suffolk Coast feels remote and unspoilt. Highlights of the coast are: - Felixstowe used to be a fashionable Edwardian resort but, despite efforts from the ...  Read the complete review

I absolutely love Suffolk and would happily move (to certain parts!) tomorrow! To all those of you who live in Suffolk, my eyes are green with envy! My favourite areas have to the coastal towns of Aldburgh, Southwold (please see my seperate review) and Walberswick and i try to visit these at least twice a year.

It was almost as if we'd have to justify NOT going there instead. So this opinion is based on the places visited over two recent weekends away. In any case, a true 'travel guide' would probably exceed the maximum word length of an opinion As a Londoner, Suffolk has much in its favour. a) It's a bit nearer than Norfolk, ...  Read the complete review

I come from Lowestoft in Suffolk and luckily for me, live close to the sea front. I watch thousands of people come from all over the country on holiday here. Lowestoft itself and surrounding areas offers a host of museums, parks, shops and lovely broads. Oulton Broad (a part of Lowestoft) is famed for being the end of the Norfolk Broads. You can hire a boat and go saling for the day from here. Up the coast from Lowestoft is the norfolk town of great yarmouth, a famous seaside resort. And down the coast are smaller villages of southwold, aldeburgh and saxmundham to name a few. Each town/village is a day out in itself, holidaying from the lovely ...  Read the complete review
