Explore Suffolk
Visit Suffolk and your senses will be brought to life. From the wetland Broads in the north to the beautiful historic Wool Towns in the south; the shimmering greenery of the west to the stunning Suffolk Coast in the east - Suffolk offers some incredible sights. When you make Suffolk your choice for your UK holiday or break, it is all about sheer indulgence in wide open countryside and beautiful coastline, savouring incredible local food and drink and a wonderful range of luxury accommodation. Its rich heritage is what makes it extra special, being one of the most coveted ancient regions in the UK.
You've probably seen countless pictures and paintings of Suffolk. But we want you to go one step further - to experience our beautiful, vibrant county first-hand. Taste the finest fish and chips as the tide creeps in at Aldeburgh or explore Southwold 's famous Pier. Hang out at a local ale house for an Adnams best. Stand on the spot where Constable visualised his paintings. Or hear the thunderous last furlong at Newmarket - the historic home of horse-racing.
Ipswich is England's oldest continuously settled Anglo-Saxon town. Discover a Tudor Christchurch Mansion and the redeveloped waterfront with its marina. The ancient market town of Framlingham is home to a superb 12th century castle and in the west sits Bury St Edmunds, an award-winning ancient town and gardens with Britain's smallest pub and cathedral. Suffolk Wool towns Lavenham (England's best preserved medieval town), Long Melford (famed for antiques) and Sudbury (birthplace of artist Thomas Gainsborough) offer a magical insight to medieval Britain.
