Suffolk
Boasting over 40 miles of unspoilt coastline, stunning countryside and quiet roads ideal for driving, heritage towns and charming villages to discover, it is easy to see why visitors return time and again to Suffolk.
Beach Sculpture at Aldeburgh
Suffolk is famous for its vast skies, stunning coastline and delightful countryside. Whatever your interests there is much to enjoy in Suffolk all year round.
A distinctive feature of the Suffolk coast is its many shingle beaches, which are a haven for a fascinating mix of wildlife and plants. Fishing boats can be seen resting on the raked banks of pebbles or out at sea trawling the waves and fresh fish can be purchased from the fishermen’s huts on the beaches.
Norfolk
Norfolk Broads
Norfolk is the largest but least populated county in East Anglia. Much of it's coastline is designated an 'An Area of Outstanding Beauty' and the county has 20 national and 10 local nature reserves.
Norfolk’s landscape is very diverse. From historic heathland and ancient grassland, to wetland, farmland, marshland, mudflats and reedbeds. All this countryside provides the perfect habitat for a wide variety of bird, animal and plant life. Birdwatching is popular here, as is walking, cycling and horseriding because of the quiet country roads and undulating landscape. No hard hills here for you to contend with!
Cambridgeshire
Punting by King's College
The Cambridgeshire Fens are a unique and distinctive area, drained by man over the centuries to create some of the most fertile land in Britain (flowers, fruit and vegetables). Criss-crossed by waterways they offer stunning skyscapes and unforgettable sunsets, plus some of Britain’s most important nature reserves. Famous for the University city of Cambridge, noted for its historic colleges, museums, bookshops and punting and Ely dominated by its magnificent cathedral.
