Southwold
Best for: A traditional seaside break
While Southwold might be one of the smallest well-known beach resorts in the UK, it certainly doesn’t lack anything. Boasting incredible pubs and restaurants, independent shops, plenty of activities and its very own brewery, there’s always something going on here. Plus, the beaches are some of the best around too.
Bury St Edmunds
Best for: Its rich history

Lowestoft
Best for: Seeing the first sunrise of the day
Nestled on the most northern part of the Suffolk Coast lies Lowestoft - a seaside town packed with two piers, a wildlife park, theme park, theatre and museums. As the most easterly town, it’s the first place to see the sunrise in the UK. Set your alarms, get the family out and don’t forget your cameras.
Best walks in Suffolk
Whatever your walking ability and however far you want to explore, Suffolk has a route for you.
Around Ipswich Walk
Location: Ipswich
Difficulty: Moderate
Walk length: Eight miles
The circular ‘Around Ipswich Walk’ does exactly that - it takes you around the town of Ipswich, past rivers and through a number of parks.

Angles Way
Location: The Broads
