An epic 60-mile walk allows you to experience a county’s entire coastline, taking you through some of the UK’s best seaside towns.
Suffolk Coast Path follows the coastline of Suffolk from Felixstowe to Lowestoft, offering stunning views of the sea and diverse coastal landscapes. It passes through nature reserves, seaside towns, and historic sites, according to The Expert Camper.
Hikers can explore charming coastal villages such as Southwold and Aldeburgh, known for their traditional architecture and local cuisine.
Southwold is a quintessentially British seaside town, where hikers can enjoy a well-earned rest and enjoy crab sandwiches while taking in the stunning sandy beach.
With its beach hut-lined promenade, Southwold is home to a grade II listed lighthouse that is 31 metres tall. It is still a working lighthouse and guides vessels as they navigate the East Coast.
