YOURS TO<br />
WHY SHOULD I VISIT<br />
THE <strong>SUFFOLK</strong> <strong>COAST</strong>?<br />
The Suffolk Coast, one of the UK’s finest landscapes – with 40 miles of Heritage Coast set<br />
in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.<br />
Under our big East Anglian skies you will find tranquillity and an invigorating sense of<br />
space, even at the height of summer.<br />
With so much to see it’s easy to leave the car behind and explore on foot or bicycle.<br />
Whether you want to build sandcastles and eat ice-cream or discover some of Britain’s<br />
rarest wildlife, you can do it here on the Suffolk coast.<br />
Our charming seaside towns are great for family holidays and our historic riverside<br />
villages are romantic places to stay and linger. Water is never far away and each new tide<br />
brings light and movement, delighting the eye and relaxing the mind and body.<br />
Away from the coast there are more secrets to discover. You’ll find beautiful churches<br />
historic castles; Anglo-Saxon burial sites; windmills and a fairytale meare; mysterious<br />
forests and leafy lanes; historic market towns and friendly, oak-beamed pubs you’re<br />
guaranteed fantastic local food and a warm welcome wherever you go.
Take a journey through history when visiting the Suffolk Coast.<br />
The famous Anglo Saxon burial site of Sutton Hoo, managed by the National Trust, is located<br />
just outside Woodbridge; there are Norman castles at Framlingham and Orford, a 15th Century<br />
fort at Felixstowe; a multitude of historic houses that open to the public through the Invitation<br />
to View scheme; an abundance of wind and water mills throughout the District including<br />
Woodbridge Tide Mill, one of the last working tide mills in the country and a series of Martello<br />
Towers guarding the coast from Felixstowe to Aldeburgh.<br />

Rendlesham Forest, near Woodbridge, is the home to one of the most infamous UFO sightings<br />
of recent years. In December 1980, military staff based at nearby RAF Woodbridge Airbase saw<br />
what appeared to be an alien spaceship land within the forest. The Forestry Commission<br />
operate UFO trails throughout the Forest to take you through what happened that night.<br />
Bringing us into the 21st Century is the Port of Felixstowe, which sits at the edge of the resort of<br />
Felixstowe. The viewing area at Landguard offers spectacular views over the ports of Felixstowe<br />
and Harwich and the multitude of container, passenger and cruise ships using these ports.<br />

...INDULGE IN EATING OUT<br />
Suffolk Coastal has a large variety of restaurants and pubs that serve food ranging from Michelin<br />
Starred to local farm produce. Every village has a pub with character, many providing excellent<br />
food in convivial surroundings. The hotels have great restaurants and there are a number of top class<br />
restaurants and cafes serving local produce, organic meat and really fresh fish. Local smokehouses<br />
provide smoked fish and chicken amongst other meats and local vineyards provide wine tasting<br />
events and tours.<br />
Families are catered for too with many cafes and restaurants that are happy to provide child sized<br />
portions. Many of the premises have wonderful views over rivers and reed beds, which contribute<br />
to the feeling of relaxation and contentment.<br />
The Aldeburgh Food and Drink festival in October highlights the variety and quality of locally produced<br />
food. UKTV Food has seen several of the farm shops and restaurants in the area nominated as Local<br />
Food Heroes in 2007, for their contribution towards local food provision and the reduction of food miles.<br />
New for 2008, many of the guest accommodation premises featured in this guide have signed<br />
up to the “Suffolk Breakfast Initiative” to show their commitment to sourcing their breakfast<br />
ingredients locally.<br />

The most obvious attraction of Suffolk Coastal is the unspoilt coast and countryside.<br />
Here, you’ll find almost limitless opportunities for walking, cycling and horseriding,<br />
along with award-winning beaches.<br />
The resort of Felixstowe is a haven for small children and the elderly with a wide, flat, 2 mile<br />
long promenade. Further up the coast the more intimate towns and villages of Aldeburgh,<br />
Dunwich, Orford and Walberswick offer a different variation on the seaside experience, from<br />
wild shingle beaches to glorious sandy dunes.<br />

The countryside is enchanting, ranging from a patchwork of gently rolling arable fields and small<br />
woodlands to the Suffolk Coast and Heaths Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. This is a very<br />
special landscape, a fragile mosaic of heaths, forest, wetlands and coast that collectively support<br />
some of the rarest wildlife in Britain. Here, there are many nature reserves to explore, waymarked<br />
trails and three long-distance paths (leaflets available from Tourist Information Centres).<br />
The area is particularly rich in birdlife. There are four river estuaries that teem with wildfowl and<br />
wading birds from Autumn through to Spring. Coastal marshes play host to unusual birds such<br />
as the bittern, marsh harrier and avocet, while the Sandlings Heaths are home to rare species<br />
such as the nightjar.<br />

...A SMALL SEASIDE TOWN WITH HUGE CHARM<br />
A highly fashionable destination for holidays and day trips, Aldeburgh remains largely the<br />
same as it has been for decades. While fishermen still sell their daily catch from huts on the<br />
beach, the high street boasts a number of award-winning restaurants and bistros.<br />
Independent shops and galleries line the street and along with Snape Maltings Concert Hall,<br />
Aldeburgh provides the backdrop to a rich musical heritage, with Benjamin Britten’s worldrenowned<br />
Aldeburgh Festival of Music and the Arts held in June.<br />
On the seafront, the Moot Hall houses the town’s museum and is a focal point, with its<br />
ancient timbers and outside staircase. At the top of the Town Steps, leading off the High<br />
Street and up the cliff, there is a wonderful view over the roof tops and out to sea.<br />
In nearby Leiston, the Long Shop Museum, provides a fascinating insight into the 250-year<br />
old engineering history of Richard Garrett (the Richard Branson of his day), and Elizabeth<br />
Garrett Anderson, the first female doctor. The RSPB’s flagship reserve at Minsmere is four<br />
miles from Aldeburgh and The National Trust’s Dunwich Heath, is just eight miles. Two miles<br />
from Aldeburgh, in Thorpeness, you can spend a day boating on the magical, early 20th<br />

...AT THE VERY HEART OF THE <strong>SUFFOLK</strong> COUNTRYSIDE<br />
The attractive market town of Framlingham is dominated by a Norman Castle which was the seat<br />
of the Earls and Dukes of Norfolk.<br />
The Mere alongside the Castle is managed by Suffolk Wildlife Trust and a circular footpath<br />
enables visitors to appreciate the abundance of wild flowers and wildlife.<br />
The Town Trail, available through TIC’s, is a great way of finding out more about the town’s<br />
history and interesting buildings.<br />
In 2006, 'Country Life' magazine voted Framlingham the number one place to live in the country<br />
and came runner up in 2005’s contest to find Englands Favourite Market Town.<br />
The award winning Shawsgate Vineyard nearby offers winetasting, tours and a childrens play<br />
area with a retail outlet selling their wide range of wines, ciders and non-alcoholic grape juices.<br />

...AN ATTRACTIVE & HISTORIC RIVERSIDE TOWN<br />
Choose Woodbridge for its history, picturesque views and welcoming atmosphere. Nestling near<br />
the head of the tidal reaches of the River Deben, Woodbridge has been chosen as an ideal place<br />
for a settlement for over 1200 years. This location is still highly sought after. The Elizabethan<br />
Shire Hall houses a museum celebrating the Suffolk Punch Horse and the local history museum.<br />
Other landmark sights include the much-photographed historic Tide Mill and Buttrum's Windmill.<br />
Across the river is the Anglo-Saxon burial ground of Sutton Hoo operated by the National Trust.<br />
During the summer months all these attractions are linked by an open top bus service<br />
on Thursdays and Saturdays.<br />
Once you are in Woodbridge there are a host of independent shops, cafes, pubs and restaurants<br />
to visit, all serving things that are just that little bit different from anywhere else. A chance to<br />

Tasty Suffolk<br />
YOURS TO DISCOVER<br />
43<br />
Even the words ‘Tasty Suffolk’ sound delicious!<br />
Whilst you’ll come across a few household names,<br />
many producers will be noted for their quality products<br />
within food and drink enthusiast circles, on a regional<br />
basis or even in their local area.<br />
Suffolk Farmers’ Markets<br />
Photos from Suffolk Tourism Partnership<br />
You’ll find unsung local food heroes going about<br />
their business with dedication and passion. And<br />
before you leave to return home don’t forget to<br />
stop at a farmers' market or farm shop to buy<br />
some Suffolk produce so that the memory of<br />
your visit lingers a little longer in your senses...<br />
Local produce isn't simply about eating<br />
and drinking, it encapsulates local cultural<br />
distinctiveness, industrial skill, the broader<br />
environment and an enjoyable leisure<br />
experience.<br />
Experiencing locally produced food and drink<br />
which is distinctive to the area you've come to<br />
visit really does add something special to your<br />
holiday or day trip.<br />
The landscapes of the county really do<br />
influence the variety and quality of food and<br />
drink produced. The coastline and inland<br />
waterways provide great quality fresh fish and<br />
shell fish. Oysters for example are grown along<br />
certain stretches of the coast where the<br />
growing conditions are more favourable.<br />
A range of vegetables is produced in key<br />
areas where the fertile soils are evident;<br />
the sandy soil in some parts enables the<br />
growing of asparagus where drainage is vital.<br />
This has also led to a concentration of small<br />
vineyards producing award winning English wines<br />
whose yield and quality improves year on year.<br />
Pastures and grazing land throughout the<br />
county host dairy cattle herds whose milk is<br />
used in a wide range of diary products,<br />
including the production of ice cream, crème<br />
fraiche and cheeses, whilst the presence of<br />
beef cattle is evident and a greater awareness<br />
in rare breeds has led to a great deal of<br />
interest in the native Red Poll breed. The<br />
breeding of pigs is extremely evident in the<br />
county and this serves to endure the fine<br />
reputation of Suffolk hams and bacon. The<br />
forest and woodlands provide a range of<br />
succulent wild game meat and is ‘a must try’.<br />

All the accommodation featured in this guide has been quality assessed by either Visitbritain or the AA, or has recently<br />
applied for a rating and is awaiting assessment. Please be aware that ratings may change throughout the year.<br />
Properties are visited by trained assessors who award a quality score for every aspect of the experience, including the<br />
comfort of the bed, the quality of the breakfast and dinner and, most importantly, the cleanliness as well as the warmth<br />
of the welcome. Look out for the Visitbritain Gold and Silver awards and the AA Red or Gold Stars, which recognise<br />
exceptional quality at all levels, and businesses who “go the extra mile”.<br />

Red Stars recognise the very<br />

AA Merit % Score<br />
In addition to the Star rating, each hotel is<br />
given an AA Merit Score as a percentage. This<br />
indicates the level of quality achieved within<br />
each Star rating, which helps you to compare<br />
hotels with the same number of Stars.<br />
★ AA Inspectors' Choice<br />
These hotels stand out as the very best in<br />
the UK and the Republic of Ireland,<br />
regardless of style. The selected Inspectors'<br />
Choice hotels are identified by red Stars.<br />
★ Highly Commended<br />
AA inspectors determine a quality score as a<br />
percentage to cover all aspects of a guest<br />
accommodation, including service. The score<br />
is then represented as a one - to five-Star<br />
rating. Yellow Stars indicate that an<br />
establishment is within the upper 10%<br />
of the quality score range for a three-,<br />
four- or a five-Star guest accommodation.<br />
U Unconfirmed rating<br />
A hotel or guest accommodation may have<br />
an 'Unconfirmed' symbol because their Star<br />
rating has not been confirmed. This may be<br />
due to a change of ownership or because<br />
the establishment has only recently joined<br />
the AA rating scheme.<br />
A AA Associate recognition<br />
Establishments inspected and rated by<br />
VisitBritain, VisitScotland or VisitWales<br />
can pay to belong to the AA Associate<br />
Hotel/Guest Accommodation Scheme.<br />
You can be confident that all AA<br />
Associate-recognised establishments<br />
have Star ratings that meet the common<br />
quality standards.<br />
Pennant ratings<br />
for campsites and caravan parks<br />
Campsites and caravan parks are rated by<br />
AA inspectors on a five-point scale. The<br />
Pennant ratings increase with the quality<br />
and variety of facilities a park offers.<br />
The AA Pennant rating is only based on<br />
the touring pitches and the facilities at<br />
campsites and caravan parks.<br />
Suffolk Breakfast Initiative<br />
Suffolk has a great tradition<br />
of pig farming and even<br />
today it is estimated that 20% of the UK’s pork<br />
originates from the county. The Suffolk Breakfast<br />
Initiative has been developed to recognise our<br />
food and farming heritage. Look out for<br />
hospitality businesses displaying the logo as<br />
you’ll be sure of a Tasty Suffolk experience.<br />
Rose Awards 2008<br />
The English Tourism Council’s annual<br />
Rose Awards highlight and promote<br />
selected high quality holiday caravan<br />
parks that also provide a good proportion<br />
of first class caravan holiday homes for hire.<br />

Rosette awards for restaurants<br />
AA inspectors annually award Rosettes to restaurants for the quality of their food. Most<br />
Star-rated hotels have their own restaurants and we also inspect these. Not all receive an<br />
AA Rosette award, but they will generally serve enjoyable food of a reasonable standard.<br />
Excellent restaurants that stand out in<br />
their local area. The food is prepared<br />
with care, understanding and skill, using<br />
good-quality ingredients.<br />
The best local restaurants, offering higher<br />
standards and better consistency. Greater<br />
precision is apparent in the cooking, and<br />
there is obvious attention to the quality<br />
and selection of ingredients.<br />
Three Rosettes are awarded to outstanding<br />
restaurants that demand recognition well<br />
beyond the local area. The highest quality<br />
ingredients receive sympathetic treatment,<br />
and there is consistent timing, seasoning,<br />
National Accessible Scheme<br />
and judgement of flavour combinations. You<br />
can expect excellent and intelligent service,<br />
and a well-chosen wine list.<br />
Four Rosettes highlight cooking that<br />
demands national recognition. Dishes<br />
demonstrate intense ambition, a passion for<br />
excellence, superb technical skills and<br />
remarkable consistency. An appreciation of<br />
culinary traditions is combined with a desire<br />
for exploration and improvement.<br />
The food at a five-Rosette restaurant stands<br />
comparison with the best in the world. It is<br />
highly individual, benefits from breathtaking<br />
culinary skills, and sets the standards to<br />
which others aspire. There will also be a<br />
knowledgeable and distinctive wine list.<br />
Accommodation that displays one of the signs shown below are committed to accessibility.<br />
When you see one of the symbols, you can be sure that the accommodation has been thoroughly<br />
inspected against demanding criteria. VisitBritain has a variety of accessible accommodation in its<br />
schemes, and the different accessible ratings will help you to choose the one that best suits your needs.<br />
