River Blyth Footbridge and Harbour View

Southwold Market Place and Adnams Brewery

Highlight • Beach

Beautiful, if slightly overrun, historic fishing port and now a chi-chi resort full of second homes. Still very appealing though, with lovely historic streets and buildings, not to mention the Adnams Brewery.

Southwold Pier and Beach

Highlight • Beach

Southwold can rightly lay claim to being the quintessential English seaside resort town. It has all the necessary attractions, including a working lighthouse, beach huts, award-winning pier, busy harbour, cliff top cannon and a fabulous beach.
