56 Suffolk Coast and Heaths Key Characteristics ● Geologically different from the rest of East Anglia; Crag deposits form deep free-draining acidic sands and gravels, easily worked, giving rise to distinctive topography and landcover. ● Largely unspoilt mosaic of estuaries, saltmarsh, grazing marsh, reedbed, river valleys, arable, heath and woodland, with strong coastal influence, eg shingle spits and ridges resulting from longshore drift. ● Large commercial ports of Harwich and Felixstowe and seasonal influx of yachts to the rivers and harbours provide interest and variety of scale along the estuaries, with influence of seabirds, wind and intertidal mud flats. ● Large conifer plantations, closely associated with heathland and birch scrub. ● Sparsely settled, with small nucleated villages and isolated farmhouses. Brick buildings with colourwashed walls and pantiles as typical features. ● Coastal towns and villages form the focus of tourist activity, especially where combined with sailing. ● A string of landscaped parkland along the A12 in the west, and along the Stour and Orwell estuaries. ● Impact of major development: Felixstowe docks, Sizewell nuclear power stations and the associated infrastructure, and military bases. Landscape Character The Suffolk Coast and Heaths is a tightly-knit mix of landscape types, which gives it a very varied character within its narrow, linear compass. It extends along the east coast in an open but narrow band of sand and shingle from Great Yarmouth, where it borders the Broads, to Harwich and the south bank of the Stour. Its western boundary with the boulder clay plateau of central East Anglia crosses several small east-west river valleys. Character Area 82 In the northern part of the area, such as at Covehithe, the sea eats inexorably away at the land, the low, crumbling cliffs often dramatically retreating in a single winter storm. The northern part of the area, around Great Yarmouth, Gorleston, Lowestoft and Kessingland, is heavily influenced by the resident urban population and the seasonal influx of tourists. Nonetheless, within the predominantly arable landscape around these towns there are important features such as Fritton Lake and Somerleyton Park. To the south, it is a land of lonely estuaries, mudflats and marshes, of big skies over arable fields lacking hedgerows to contain the light, sandy soils. Inland are the ‘Sandlings’ a land of pine forests, within which mixed areas of heathland grass, gorse, bracken and birch have been carved out. Ancient woodland is not common in this area so Staverton Park is the more remarkable, with its medieval oaks, huge hollies, rowan and birch. It is not flat land although changes in relief are slight. These are still enough to provide an intimate scale and generally limited views, although long views are possible in more open areas. Slightly higher land on the edge of the clay plateau to the west is incised by the rivers Blyth, Deben, Alde and Minsmere (Yox), to create intimate, twisting, narrow, wooded, pastoral valleys. The settlements have little impact JOHN TYLER/COUNTRYSIDE AGENCY
