DUNWICH

Dating back to Anglo-Saxon times when it was the capital of the Kingdom of East Angles, Dunwich may only be a small village, but it is packed with history. Don’t miss: Discovering the history behind the city lost to the sea at Dunwich Museum (open March – October). Taking the Dunwich Trail around the village to learn how it would have looked many years ago pick up a map from the museum. The rumoured sound of bells from drowned churches said to still ring from the waves. Spotting herds of deer on The Heath, during autumn months look out for males clashing antlers in the battle for a mate. A woodland walk back through The Dingles to Walberswick after a cuppa and homemade cake from Dingle Tearooms.
