Favourite Suffolk spot 23:00 - Apr 8 with 5519 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.

Southwold and its pier (off-season).

Lots of very happy memories there, and a plaque on the pier commemorating our wedding day.

Poll: Stone Island - immediate associations

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.

Poll: This new lockdown poll - what you reckon?

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.

There is a nice walk from Melton to Bawdsey which takes you past Ramsholt Church. You can sit by the church, which used to be a Saxon lookout tower and look over the Deben. I think that is the perfect Suffolk view

Have a pint in the Ramsholt Arms, walk to Bawdey and get the ferry to Felixstowe for chips by the sea. None more Suffolk.


Oh lovely. I am currently on a quest to visit all of our Saxon round tower churches by the end of this year. Have to say Ramsholt is my favourite so far. One of the oldest and in a fantastic setting.

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.

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.

That’s a lot of churches! Pretty sure that there are more churches in Norfolk/Suffolk than anywhere else in the UK.

I’m obviously just focusing on niche Saxon roundtowers and there are still in excess of 180. Must be at least twentyfold that for all church types.

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.

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?

Agree. I’m not even into Christianity. More interested in the Old Ways and the Saxon churches show many signs of Paganic worship alongside early Christian symbolism. Fascinating. To me, anyway.

Started September 2023. Ramsholt was the second one specifically visited after a wander around Sutton Hoo.
