A delightful town offering year-round interest, Southwold has a working lighthouse, an award-winning pier which was refurbished as recently as 2001, a bustling harbour and charming beach. Southwold is a typical charming English seaside resort, popular for those wishing to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life. This is an England which has hardly changed since the beginning of last century.
Almost an island, there is just the one road in to and out of Southwold. This stretch of coastline is known as The Sunrise Coast. Fully trained lifeguards patrol the beach which has won awards and that makes it very attractive for families. There are brightly coloured beach huts too, many with humorous names.
The town, although with an air of gentility, is a busy, working town. There is so much to do and see that you are spoiled for choice. The track of the former Southwold Railway line has now been turned into a lovely walk. At the harbour you will discover a range of boat trips. You can cruise around Solebay or up the River Blyth to Blythburgh and back again. There is also a three-hour cruise to Scroby sands where you will almost certainly see seals.
If you seek fresh fish, fine food, good restaurants, galleries and bookshops, then look no further. Southwold has all these and more. Many are unique to the town. At the southern end of the sea front are open marshes and the estuary of the River Blyth. If you look down here you will spot the 'Cathedral

Find cottages in SouthwoldSouthwold has a fascinating history, having been mentioned in the Domesday Book as a fishing port of importance. However, a shingle bar later built up across the mouth of the harbour thus preventing the town from being able to be a major port again. A fire in the town in 1659 damaged many of its buildings. Fortunately, in place of some of the buildings that were razed to the ground, open spaces were created. These were never built on again and today remain as greens.
Southwold Museum has a fascinating collection of items from the Battle of Sole Bay which was fought between the English and the French against the Dutch in 1672.
Around Southwold lies countryside rich in farmland, minor roads lined with old oak trees, shingle and sandy beaches, marshland and commons. On a clear night the skies here are ablaze with stars. Wildlife abounds here too – you are likely to see hares, wild deer and a huge variety of birds both native and migrants. This is an unspoiled coastline. Unforgettable.
