Walk the Wall Walk across the 13 towers for breathtaking countryside views. Mary Tudor was also announced Queen of England within these walls, adding to its historical significance.

2. Mid-Suffolk Light Railway Museum (‘Middy’):

6. Suffolk Beaches:
- Suffolk boasts stunning beaches. Consider a visit to Southwold Beach, known for its colorful beach huts, or Aldeburgh Beach, famous for its fresh seafood and artistic community¹.

7. Sutton Hoo:
- Uncover ancient history at Sutton Hoo, an Anglo-Saxon burial site. Explore the mounds, visitor center, and scenic views of the River Deben.

8. Snape Maltings:
- Visit Snape Maltings, a cultural hub with art galleries, shops, and cafes. Enjoy the serene surroundings and perhaps catch a concert or exhibition.

9. RSPB Minsmere Nature Reserve:
- Birdwatchers will appreciate RSPB Minsmere, home to diverse bird species and stunning landscapes. Explore the trails and hides for a memorable wildlife experience.

10. Suffolk Food and Drink:
