It may look like a small village, but Dunwich was once a hugely important city in Anglo-Saxon times, competing with London for size and strategic importance in the fourteenth century! Today this 'Lost City of England' is steeped with history and offers lots of interesting visitor attractions to explore, along with quality holiday cottage accommodation, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, quality restaurants, local ales and some of the finest fish and chips in Suffolk! It's certainly a fantastic spot to enjoy nature at its finest, so pack your outdoor gear and camera!
Enjoy a Feast in Dunwich's Restaurants
After a busy day outdoors, you'll want to refuel after a rest in your holiday cottage accommodation. Try visiting The Ship at Dunwich which serves an excellent British-themed menu and cask ales, with views of the sea and marshes.
The Dingle Hill Tea Room is close to central Dunwich accommodation, and it's a beautiful cafe with floral hanging baskets outside and superb cream teas. Even better, dogs are welcome.
And for a real local treat, check out Mrs T's Fish and Chips on Southwold Harbour. The cafe cooks the freshest local fish and the locals rave about the quality. Enjoy a traditional fish and chippy tea as you eat outdoors admiring the harbour views.
Explore the Rich History of Dunwich
Settle into your comfortable holiday accommodation in this beautiful part of the world, before visiting Dunwich Museum to learn about the area's strange and often eerie history. The exhibition shows how the original city was lost to the sea and covers its history from Roman to modern times.
Immerse yourself in this part of Suffolk's Coast and Heaths Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and head to Dunwich Heath for a wonderful walk surrounded by purple heather and interesting species.
RSPB Minsmere is also a must-visit, and again, it's in easy reach of most Dunwich guest accommodation. You may even spot rare bittern, red deer and otters.
