YOURS TO ...INDULGE IN EATING OUT Suffolk Coastal has a large variety of restaurants and pubs that serve food ranging from Michelin Starred to local farm produce. Every village has a pub with character, many providing excellent food in convivial surroundings. The hotels have great restaurants and there are a number of top class restaurants and cafes serving local produce, organic meat and really fresh fish. Local smokehouses provide smoked fish and chicken amongst other meats and local vineyards provide wine tasting events and tours. Families are catered for too with many cafes and restaurants that are happy to provide child sized portions. Many of the premises have wonderful views over rivers and reed beds, which contribute to the feeling of relaxation and contentment. The Aldeburgh Food and Drink festival in October highlights the variety and quality of locally produced food. UKTV Food has seen several of the farm shops and restaurants in the area nominated as Local Food Heroes in 2007, for their contribution towards local food provision and the reduction of food miles. New for 2008, many of the guest accommodation premises featured in this guide have signed up to the “Suffolk Breakfast Initiative” to show their commitment to sourcing their breakfast ingredients locally. 6
The most obvious attraction of Suffolk Coastal is the unspoilt coast and countryside. Here, you’ll find almost limitless opportunities for walking, cycling and horseriding, along with award-winning beaches. The resort of Felixstowe is a haven for small children and the elderly with a wide, flat, 2 mile long promenade. Further up the coast the more intimate towns and villages of Aldeburgh, Dunwich, Orford and Walberswick offer a different variation on the seaside experience, from wild shingle beaches to glorious sandy dunes. CHOOSE SUFFOLK COAST2008 The countryside is enchanting, ranging from a patchwork of gently rolling arable fields and small woodlands to the Suffolk Coast and Heaths Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. This is a very special landscape, a fragile mosaic of heaths, forest, wetlands and coast that collectively support some of the rarest wildlife in Britain. Here, there are many nature reserves to explore, waymarked trails and three long-distance paths (leaflets available from Tourist Information Centres). The area is particularly rich in birdlife. There are four river estuaries that teem with wildfowl and wading birds from Autumn through to Spring. Coastal marshes play host to unusual birds such as the bittern, marsh harrier and avocet, while the Sandlings Heaths are home to rare species such as the nightjar.
