East Anglia (the counties of Suffolk and Norfolk) is England's driest and flattest region. The result is endless sunny days and huge skies - the beaches are wide and flat, the sea calm and the landscape open. Dotted along the coast are the picturesque towns of Walberswick, Aldeburgh (home of the Benjamin Britten Festival) and Snape Maltings. Southwold itself boasts a pier and a boating lake and just up the coast are Lowestoft and Great Yarmouth, packed with seaside attractions. Or use Southwold as base to explore further inland, stopping at each of the tiny villages that dot the Suffolk and Norfolk countryside. Southwold itself has become the fashionable place in the area to eat and shop - there are more bistros, restaurants and gastro pubs than you can count, and every day a new clothes shop or deli seems to open on the High Street.
