Suffolk tourist information
Suffolk's biggest appeal is its untouched essence. Ignored by tourists, it is perfect for those adventurous enough to get off the beaten track and explore the county.
Full of unspoilt countryside and exquisite beaches, Suffolk is home to a variety of small towns and villages. The capital town is Ipswich, one of England's oldest towns as testament to Suffolk's antiquity . This rural county in recorded just a 668,553 population, and so despite having ample shops and services, it remains the perfect antitote to urban life. Moreover its geographical positioning means it is able to offer visitors a seaside trip at award-winning beaches, a rural retreat to the Norfolk Broads, and a historical haven in the Victorian town of Felixstowe. The coastal area that includes Lowestoft and Southwold is known at the Sunrise Coast .
Whilst Suffolk is by no means densely populated, it enjoys a strong community feel due to its small pockets of close-knit villages and hamlets in the county. In such an environment, meeting people and indulging in the company of others is certainly a fixture despite the lack of bars and clubs outside of Ipswich. Moreover, the busy market towns and the fashionable beaches often draw large crowds, particularly on festival/racing days of which there are many.
