Introduction
Beyond the A12 trunk road lies an area of outstanding natural beauty which is one of Britain’s best-kept holiday secrets – the Suffolk Heritage Coast.
Stretching from Felixstowe and Lowestoft is a wild shoreline. The relentless action of the sea causes cliffs to crumble and recede, only to create shingle banks further along the coast.
Scattered between the towns and villages and ports are ancient heathlands and beaches where flashes of amber can be found, and sweeping nature reserves, including Southwold and Aldeburgh, two of the UK’s prettiest seaside resorts. Dramatic historic ruins which highlight the coastline’s tumultuous past dot the landscape. Visit the grave of an ancient invading Saxon warrior king, or the secret WWII testing station where early radar equipment and components for atomic bombs were developed.
A fresh world of discovery awaits you on England’s eastern frontier.
