Illustrative image

Suffolk is a gentle county of heath, estuary and shingle shore. You can walk from Aldeburgh to Thorpeness, loop Dunwich Heath and the cliffs above Minsmere, or wander from Southwold Harbour to the pier. Inland the paths follow the River Deben at Woodbridge, the Gipping from Stowmarket to Needham Market, and the Stour through Dedham Vale to Flatford.

Stories include the Anglo-Saxon ship burial at Sutton Hoo, Constable Country around Flatford Mill and Willy Lott's House, the wool towns of Lavenham and Long Melford, Framlingham Castle, and Dunwich, the town lost to the sea.
