Spend a wonderful summers' day on Suffolk's charming coastline. Southwold's restored 623m long pier offers peaceful views out to sea and back towards the colourful beach huts and historical town - it’s a great spot to enjoy a cooling summer drink. Look out for Tim Hunkin’s famous Water Clock that’s bound to give you a giggle as the hour strikes. Walk south from the pier and you’ll find plenty of local shops and boutiques in town, along with the prominent lighthouse that stands an imposing 31m above the roof tops. Take a wander up to Gun Hill for endless coastal views but don’t be put off by the six immense cannons that point out to sea behind you. They were given to the town in 1746 by the Royal Armouries to replace those that had previously defended the shoreline since 1672. Plan your time with Visit Southwold.
