Aldeburgh Fish & Chips

Posted on 31st January 201831st January 2018 by Angela Wright

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! Having eaten them several times before I started my Suffolk's Top 50 challenge, I was looking forward to a re-visit just to make sure they were as lovely as I had remembered! If you Google images of Fish and Chips at Aldeburgh you will be ...

Lavenham Christmas Fair

Posted on 15th December 201719th July 2018 by Angela Wright

The great thing about events is that they get you out and about visiting places; take the Lavenham Christmas Fair as an example. The last time I visited Lavenham was on one of the hottest days of the year in 2016, and I found myself wondering how pretty Lavenham would look at Christmas time. The Lavenham Christmas Fair was a perfect time to find out! Lavenham Christmas Fair I arrived e...

What is there to see at Hen Reedbeds?

Posted on 17th November 201719th July 2018 by Angela Wright

I have lost count of the number of times I've driven past the sign for Hen Reedbeds on my way to Southwold and wondered what it was. Well I finally took the time to stop off and explore it for myself and wow what a place to escape to if you need some fresh air and a stroll around a large open space...oh and of course you will find lots of wildlife too! What is there to see at Hen Reedbeds? ...

What is there to Discover at the Lettering Arts Centre?

Posted on 3rd November 20174th February 2018 by Angela Wright

The Lettering Arts Centre is possibly one of those places that you have wondered what it was but just walked past. I've found many places in Suffolk that look really small from the outside so you feel a bit reluctant to go inside but if you take the plunge and go for it you usually find its much larger than you think with lots of wonderful things to discover. The Lettering Arts Centre is classi...

Bird Watching on Havergate Island

Posted on 11th October 201719th July 2018 by Angela Wright

If you are looking to get back to nature and escape from it all for a few hours, Bird watching on Havergate Island could be for you! Just a 20 minute boat ride from Orford Quay, Havergate Island is a nature reserve owned and managed by the RSPB and with 5 hides on the island to enjoy your bird watching, you won't be disappointed! The reason for my visit was that over the last year I have ex...

Exploring Suffolk aboard the Orwell Lady

Posted on 30th September 20171st October 2017 by Angela Wright

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...

Covehithe: A Photo Tour

Posted on 12th July 201717th September 2017 by Angela Wright

Visiting Covehithe has been on my list for a long time and I've finally made it, thanks to it being included in the Suffolk's Top 50 I can tell you it was certainly worth the wait! If you google Covehithe images, you are faced with lots of pictures of fallen trees and the eroding coast. It is a unique landscape and very different to all the other places in Suffolk I've visited along the coast. ...

A Trip to Shingle Street

Posted on 14th June 201725th June 2017 by Angela Wright

Looking for somewhere a little bit different? A trip to Shingle Street could be just the thing! It was voted one of Suffolk's Top 50 places to visit, which was the main reason I went. Shingle Street is an unusual name for a place. There are no real streets to speak of just a line of houses along the beachfront overlooking the sea. Shingle Street it is certainly unique. When driving along ...

Why you should visit a Suffolk vineyard

Posted on 3rd June 20177th June 2017 by Angela Wright

Suffolk vineyard? Yes Suffolk has quite a few which surprised me too! I've lost count of the number of times I've driven past Shawsgate Vineyard saying "I must pop in there". We never seem to get round to visiting places on our doorstep do we? Well this week was the week thanks to English Wine Week - sometimes we all need a nudge to do something now and again. Wondering what its like to v...

A Quiet Afternoon in Walberswick

Posted on 20th May 201721st June 2017 by Angela Wright

We are so lucky in Suffolk to have a wonderful choice of places to go. I recently spent a quiet afternoon in Walberswick and picked a perfect day to visit as it seemed there were only a few of us there! Its been a year or two since my last trip and the reason for our afternoon in Walberswick was to go crabbing - one of Suffolk's Top 50 things to do. My daughter was on a brief trip home from uni...
