Suffolk was a landscape great painters could not resist. Constable and Gainsborough immortalised it’s more verdant corners, and much of what they painted is still there for us to see today. Fine museums, parks, enticing country houses and miles of beaches where you’ll find all the fun of the fair in lively resorts. A cruise of the River Orwell will provide you with a stack of visual memories. You can go bird watching, there’s horse riding, and there’s the thrill of a day at the races to enjoy. From the Vikings to the lore of the sea and classical music, it’s all here in Suffolk.
Lowestoft, Bury St. Edmunds and Ipswich are all packed with their own pleasures both ancient and modern. And then there are the towns and villages themselves; each attractive location invites you to pause and ponder, basking in that unique Suffolk atmosphere where there’s something to see around every leafy corner. The places we visted are waiting for you and your break, and we’ve listed their web sites and other details below.
