Inland, Suffolk is an agricultural landscape of wheat fields, thatched cottages in rural villages and attractive market towns like Bungay, Beccles and Bury St. Edmunds; that are rich in their own history making the region of particular interest to the visiting tourist.

Attractions

Suffolk has various family attractions like Pleasurewood Hills Theme Park off the A12 near Lowestoft for the thrill seekers or The Otter Trust near Earsham on the A143 where there is the largest collection of otters in natural enclosures in the world for the nature lover to discover. Framlingham Castle near Ipswich and Ickworth House near Bury St. Edmunds are two of the county’s grand estates that are open to the public to visit when not exploring the Suffolk coastline. Suffolk seems quite remote and sparsely populated so therefore remains one of the loveliest regions in the country that is well worth taking a closer look at and exploring the many delights that you’ll find when on holiday in Suffolk.
