The first consideration has to be the journey, theneed to get somewhere in a relatively short time in order to make the most ofyour break. Also, what's on offer when you get there. country walks or cycling,nature or heritage, shopping, fine food and coastal walks. You need to decideif you want to abandon the car when you arrive and discover your surroundingson foot. Warm winter clothes and an umbrella may not be the height of fashionbut are an essential part of any wardrobe at this time of year.
The Suffolk Heritage coastline has an abundance ofofferings, great country walks, cycling routes, horse-riding, sailing, quaintmarket towns and a fantastic shoreline for brisk walks to work-up an appetite.
One of the most popular destinations on the coastis Aldeburgh, with it's pebbled beach and stunning views along the coastline,is a very attractive and stylish market town and is a great place to be based fortouring the region.
