Location
About the surrounding area of The Garden DenA small seaside village on the Suffolk Coast, Southwold combines a sandy shingle coastline with a bustling market town with much to see and do. Clamber to the top of the town’s working lighthouse, operating since 1887, this remarkable landmark is a great place to survey the coastline from its inland location.
The calling card of many a British seaside town is the pier, and Southwold doesn’t disappoint. Southwold pier has many crafty shops and a wall of crazy mirrors to keep the kids entertained. An eccentric Under the Pier show offers an array of weird and wonderful coin-operated interactive machines which is well worth a visit and why not finish it off with some chunky fish finger sandwiches at The Boardwalk on the pier or for the best local fish and chips head to Sole Bay’s Fish Company.
Follow the pastel-painted beach huts to the shingle and sand of Southwold Beach, a great spot for pebble-skimming, splashing in the water and taking in the vintage charm of the local beach. For further coastline exploring why not take a drive to Aldeburgh Beach, one of the most popular on the Suffolk coast, with a host of quirky historic buildings from a Martello Tower, a converted windmill and a Norman church lining the coast. A history of art and culture is connected with Aldeburgh with Caroline Wiseman’s gallery located right on the beach.
Under an hour’s drive away is Framlington Castle a magnificent 12th century fortress with a fascinating history. Embark on the 10.5m high Wall Walk that has stood for over 800 years looking down on spectacular views of Framlingham mere. There is also a workhouse and exhibition to explore, detailing the former residents of the Castle including Mary Tudor, who was proclaimed Queen in 1553 at the Castle itself.
More historic findings can be discovered at Suffolk’s awe-inspiring Anglo Saxon burial site at Sutton Hoo, the subject of Netflix film “The Dig.” Alongside the site itself you can look out from the 17-metre-high viewing tower, take a stroll through the charming woodland or pay a visit to the High Hall exhibition featuring replicas and original objects found at the site.

For a trip out, take the short drive to Africa Alive Zoological Reserve where amongst 100 acres of stunning countryside guests can spot five different species from the African Savannah from majestic giraffes to formidable rhinos.
