Nestled on the tranquil east coast, Suffolk invites a slower pace of discovery. Whether wandering through nature-filled reserves, exploring heritage museums and timeworn castles, or simply pausing by the sea, there’s an abundance of gentle adventures here.
A Crossing Trip to Walberswick
Take a short ferry trip across the River Blyth and find yourself in the village of Walberswick, a village wrapped in peace and natural beauty. Acres of wild heath and marshland invite you to meander at your own rhythm, among the wildlife and fluttering birds.
Covenhithe Beach
Tucked quietly along the coast, Covehithe is a hidden gem well worth the wander. Soft sand and wide horizons make it the perfect place to unwind and restore. A short drive away, The Swan offers home-baked scones, delicate pastries, and fresh sandwiches—ideal for a lingering treat in the heart of this serene village.
The Suffolk, Aldeburgh
The Suffolk is an elegant restaurant with rooms in the heart of Aldeburgh, just a stone’s throw from our Aldeburgh store. The Suffolk offers a relaxing haven to reconnect with the local landscape and its just a short walk from the pebble beach and is next to all the independent retailers on the high street (please pop in to us if you are visiting).
Foxburrow Nature Reserve
Spread across grassland, ancient woodland, orchards and ponds, Foxburrow welcomes visitors to tune into the gentle rhythms of nature. Pause to listen to the subtle hum of wildlife and savour the tranquillity of this wild sanctuary- a place to quietly reconnect.
Ickworth Estate
With its classical architecture and winding gardens, Ickworth Estate- now cared for by the National Trust- invites thoughtful exploration. Stroll among ancient trees, blooming wildflower meadows, and let the calm of this historic landscape wash over you.
Aldeburgh Museum
You could visit Aldeburgh Museum to discover the quiet stories of this seaside town, beautifully captured in its collections. Afterwards, wander to the gentle sweep of the beach, breathe deeply of the sea air, and let your mind and body unwind to the sound of the surf.
