Attraction Information
Southwold
Situated on the north Suffolk coastline, Southwold is a traditional seaside town that forms part of the Suffolk Heritage Coast. With its brightly painted beach huts, working lighthouse, harbour and bustling fish markets, Southwold is a quintessential English resort town of yesteryear with none of the razzmatazz of a pleasure beach. Walking south along the pier towards the harbour, visitors can watch sailors navigate their vessels up and down the River Blythe where it joins with the North Sea. A fire destroyed much of the old town in 1659, but some notable buildings survived and are still standing today; St Edmund’s Church which dates back to the 15th century is well worth a visit. With just one road leading in and out, Southwold retains much of its old charm. However, the area is becoming increasingly popular with visitors and can get quite crowded at weekends during the summer. Nevertheless, its stunning scenery, coastal walks and excellent fish and chip restaurants make Southwold a great place to visit at any time of the year.
