Southwold
Southwold on the Suffolk coast in England is a charm-laden, unspoilt seaside town famous for its lighthouse, Victorian pier with eccentric amusements, and being the home of Adnams Brewery. It is 31 miles from Norwich and 35 miles from Ipswich.
Southwold’s High Street is choc-a-block with pubs, cafes, delis, galleries and boutiques.
Enjoy fine sandy beaches, explore Southwold harbour on the River Blyth which has a row boat ferry to picturesque Walberswick and lots of places to eat and buy seafood, take a tour of the Adnams Brewery and Distillery or ascend the lighthouse.
