Felixstowe Pier
Have you been to the new Felixstowe Pier yet? I only really discovered Felixstowe a couple of years ago and like many people, if off to the seaside I would automatically think of places like Aldeburgh and Southwold. Since finding Felixstowe I've not looked back and this is currently my Suffolk destination of choice if looking for a day out by the sea. Visiting Felxistowe Pier is just one of ...

Aldeburgh fish and chips
I love my visits to Aldeburgh and I was really pleased to see "Fish and chips at Aldeburgh" in the Suffolk's Top 50 list that I am working my way through!

Lavenham Christmas Fair

Lettering Arts Centre
The Lettering Arts Centre is possibly one of those places that you have wondered what it was but just walked past.

The Lettering Arts Centre is classi...

Exploring Suffolk aboard the Orwell Lady

Posted on by Angela Wright
Orwell Lady
The first time I 'met' Orwell Lady was earlier this year when I attended a fabulous boat open day at Ipswich Waterfront. As you know I travel all over Suffolk, usually by car and on foot but I remember thinking it would be rather cool to explore Suffolk by boat. Intrigued at how different Suffolk would look from the river,  the opportunity of joining one of the Orwell Lady sightseeing cruis...

3 Great Reasons to Visit Art on the Prom

Posted on by Angela Wright
Art on the Prom
Suffolk is full of events all year round and there really is something to suit everybody. For me, Art on the Prom is way up the top for a great day out and one I always visit if I can. With so many events to choose from and many of them repeated each year there is the danger that you will do as I've done in the past, put it in your diary then something else crops up and you say - "Oh well I...
