Living in Suffolk
Dynamic Suffolk always exceeds expectations, which is why it’s an increasingly sought-after destination for prospective homebuyers.
The county is especially suited to those who love to escape to the great outdoors, with its 50-miles of coastline defined as a protected Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, and Dedham Vale, another protected area, being the place that inspired the landscapes by renowned Suffolk-born painter John Constable.
Beyond its hills and beaches though, Suffolk is brimming with a host of vibrant towns and villages that provide world-class culture, exquisite food, popular schools and superb heritage.
Prime locations include Southwold, Aldeburgh and Snape on the coast, and former wool towns, such as Lavenham and Long Melford, which have scarcely changed since Tudor times.
The allure of Suffolk is also down to its special cultural and historical legacy: The town of Newmarket is widely considered as the global home of thoroughbred horse racing, while Bury St Edmonds has historical sites that date back to the Saxons and the 16th Century Edmundsbury Cathedral is the only one in Suffolk.
Accessibility
For a rural county, Suffolk is well-served by a network of A-roads enabling access to nearby destinations.
Several towns have train stations with connections to larger destinations such as Bury St Edmonds, Cambridge and London, with services from places such as Diss taking roughly 90 minutes to London Liverpool Street.
