Things to try in Southwold

Try the Southwold Lighthouse tour: you can see the surrounding coast, and get a birds-eye view of Southwold itself. The tour lasts about 20 minutes, and is really nice thing to do.

For something slightly less sedate, try the Coastal Voyager. This is a 400 horse power boat which will give you the chance to speed around Sole Bay, just off the coast Southwold. You get the opportunity to ride around for 30 minutes, before being dropped off back at Southwold, or take a one way ride and get dropped off at Dunwich. This is certainly a way of adding some exhilaration to your day.

A more genteel way of spending your time in Southwold is to have a walk along the newly restored pier. Have a look at the "Under the Pier Show", and have a go on some of the hand made amusement machines. And make sure you have a look at the water clock at the end of the pier - this always causes a smile.

Southwold is well known for its amber, and if amber interests you, take a look round the amber museum here. It'll tell you all you need to know.

Lastly, and one for all you real ale drinkers out there, is Adnams - Southwold is the home to Adnams. So if you like a drop of real ale, take a visit to any of the Adnams pubs here, and sample some of the latest produce.
