You've probably seen countless pictures and paintings of Suffolk. But we want you to go one step further - to experience our beautiful, vibrant county. To smell the flowers that line the Abbey Gardens in Bury St Edmunds. Taste the finest fish and chips as the tide creeps in at Aldeburgh. Or hear the thunderous last furlong at Newmarket.
Let us at the Visit Suffolk Official Tourism Website help you discover these magical places. Places where you'll have fun with the kids, relax with a loved one, or simply be inspired.
Destination of the month: Bury St Edmunds
Spend a day exploring the rich heritage, beautiful historic buildings and winding streets. Start at the magnificent St Edmundsbury Cathedral with its 140ft tower before strolling through the award-winning Abbey Gardens. After stopping for lunch in one of the town’s lovely cafes why not visit the Greene King Visitor Centre or maybe Britain’s smallest pub – The Nutshell, for some real Suffolk hospitality!
