Popular Locations in Suffolk

Bury St Edmunds

Proudly containing the only cathedral in Suffolk, Bury St Edmunds might also be the most beautiful town within the county. Packed with history, many of the buildings are even older than they look, due to the old timber framing being bricked over in the 1700s.

Ipswich

Found in Suffolk, Ipswich regularly vies for the title of the oldest town in England, with its history dating all the way back to the 600s. Today, the waterside area remains the most popular part of Ipswich, with old warehouses transformed into restaurants, shops and galleries.

Felixstowe

The northern side of Felixstowe sees the docks give way to lovely pebble beaches and an Edwardian coastal town. Felixstowe Pier is everything you’d expect from a seaside town, complete with an amusement arcade.
