The coastline from the Stour estuary in the south to the Blyth in the north is remarkably unspoilt. Here you can enjoy long stretches of beach that are quiet even at the height of summer, large areas of forest and heathland and wide estuaries that are home to a wide variety of birdlife, including Avocets, marsh harriers and barn owls that are rare elsewhere but thrive here. The charming resorts of Southwold and Aldeburgh will bring back memories of childhood seaside holidays, while culture vultures are drawn to the Maltings at Snape, with its famous concert hall set deep in the countryside. And don’t miss Dunwich, a major port in medieval times, which disappeared under the sea many centuries ago, leaving just a long sweep of beach.
