Favourite Suffolk spot 23:00 - Apr 8 with 9357 viewsNeedhamChris

Where is everyone's favourite Suffolk spot?

For me - it's Orford. Nowhere else I'd rather spend a few hours or more, although Walberswick isn't far behind.

Lots of lovely spots named already. I am quite partial to a walk along the Stour or Orwell estuaries. Shotley peninsula from Pin Mill to Shotley is very nice, as is the other side from Stutton to Cattawade.

Best bit is a lot of the time you can walk all day and see only a handful of people in-between the villages.

For me, it's the area extending from Southwold to Walberswick, and also the area from the Dip to Felixstowe Ferry, not least because they bring back memories of my parents.

Boyton marshes are really really tranquil and utterly idyllic on a summer's day.
Also love Shingle Street which is just down the road.

Thorpeness - pebble beach with a fairly steep incline into the sea. The mere, quirky buildings including the House in the Clouds, close to Aldeburgh for fish & chips but not as busy and coastal walk as far as Dunwich.

Felixstowe …..to the left of the pier is pretty good too .

Never been there myself but this Twitter post makes me want to walk from Snape to St Botolph's church in Iken.

Southwold nice out of season, fish n chips n Adnams in pub or on pier..Lavenham of course, Kersey, and Darmsden Church a Victorian rebuild on a hill overlooking valley near Needham Market is a nice spot if you ignore the pylons!

I worked with a guy who had visited nearly every church in Suffolk.. he was on an archeological dig near barham, working on an old Roman settlement. I think he said coddenham and a few around that area was all he had left, That’s some going.

The sofa seat in the front window of The Crown Hotel in Framlingham, overlooking the square on market day with a coffee and a sausage sandwich.

Thanks for all these ideas. I’m taking Mrs C as part of her recovery to stay at my late father’s house (my house now, I suppose) in Waldringfield in May for a week. I know plenty of these places, particularly in that area, but all suggestions of places to visit, eat and chill gratefully received!

Going down Ballingdon woods to hit the bong and eat mushrooms. Laying on top of the old WW2 pillboxes looking up at the stars. Nicking a boat from the Quay Theatre and going on a joyride down the river.

Google says 500 in Suffolk.. that’s almost 10 years in weekends… majority of the round towers are Norfolk, maybe take some Ipswich stickers , stick one somewhere on all the Norfolk ones.

Beccles. Honorary Norfolk really.


Beccles Clock Tower... as Aan Brazil famously states.... doesn't give the time of day to Norfolk!

Quite funny how people would pay good money to visit a castle, but churches are equally as grand, and full of history , How long has it taken to do the 53?

I must do some of the churches. A load of my ancestors lived in the Bury St Edmunds, Stowmarket area and a little nosing about wouldn’t go amiss. I like the scale of them. They’re all small and steeped in history.

The services for my mum and dad were done at Waldringfield church. It’s small, but totally charming. You can see the history (the bit I’m interested in tbh) in it back a good few 100 years, yet it’s kind of on its own outside the main village.

I like doing the walks along the Deben. You can stand looking out on the river across to Sutton Hoo and imagine the Saxons (Angles) and later Vikings rowing silently up the river. Spine chilling!

this, wonderful website, is what you need.

And so as the loose-bowelled pigeon of time swoops low over the unsuspecting tourist of destiny, and the flatulent skunk of fate wanders into the air-conditioning system of eternity, I notice it's the end of the show

Nobody seems to have mentioned Minsmere Bird Reserve. The walk up past Sizewall to Minsmere is a delightful mix of the best and worst of Suffolk. Covehishould be on every Suffolk resident’s bucket list - but for those with a penchant for history could do a lot worse than visit the wartime USAAF air bases. Not as interesting now as they were just a few short years ago - but thought provoking and atmospheric.
