Southwold Pier: Opastetut kierrokset ja aktiviteetit

Southwold Pier at high tide creates lots of spectacular waves and spray - it's easy to get soaked! #perspective

Nice town but gets very busy with tourists.

Southwold is described as the jewel of Suffolk's Heritage Coast, and it does not disappoint.
With its famous pier, lighthouse and beach huts, Southwold is certainly one of the most popular resorts in East Anglia.
Granted a Royal Charter back in 1489 by Henry VII, Southwold has a fascinating history and many links with the past can still be seen all over the town.
The centre piece is the magnificent church, with its 100 foot tower and dedicated to the last king of East Anglia, St Edmund. Nearby, the lighthouse, also 100 feet tall, has given safe passage to sailors and fishermen since 1890.
The pier and its history are closely connected to that of Southwold. Its original use was, of course, practical – it was a landing stage for the steamships which arrived from London Bridge.

When you're the only person on the pier with this view, you wonder why no one else has gotten out of bed for sunrise!
I loved the reflections in the windows

Southwold Beach

Mikset viettäisi huoletonta iltapäivää kohteen Reydon rannalla Southwold Beach? Hemmottele makuhermojasi alueen baareissa ja ravintoloissa.

In an area as steeped in history as the Suffolk Coast, it takes something special to stand out. Dunwich manages to do just this. Known as the lost city of England, this tiny village certainly has a story to tell.

Dating back to Anglo-Saxon times, Dunwich once stood proud as the capital of the Kingdom of the Eastern Angles, at its mightiest matching 14th century London for size. It was a seat of power for the Anglo-Saxon bishops for centuries, an international port, and the Domesday book of 1086 puts the population at over 3000.

The little village of Dunwich was once a thriving seaport; but over the centuries the sea reclaimed the town leaving not much behind except for a wonderful stretch of beach. This expanse of shingle seems to go on forever in both directions, backed by low crumbling cliffs.

Dunwich beach is set in a break between the cliffs where the road literally ends on the beach. Here you will find a number of small boats pulled up on the sand and a the National Trust tearoom.
In fact, the National Trust own the beach and much of the surrounding countryside including Dunwich Heath which runs along the coast. This whole area is teeming with wildlife which thrive in these rare habitats.

Just a short drive from Dunwich you will find RSPB Minsmere. Here you can spend a day spotting some the UKs rarest birds and wildlife including the Avocet, Bittern, Otter and Red Deer.
