FOREWORD

Suffolk contains some of the finest and most diverse countryside in lowland Britain and much of the strip along the coast is rightly designated as the Suffolk Coast & Heaths Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). The national designation recognises an area of contrasts, outstanding landscapes, wildlife havens and superb views.

Walking through the Suffolk Coast & Heaths AONB is the best way to experience the area’s wonderful landscape and remarkable stories. There are three long-distance trails within the AONB – the Suffolk Coast Path, the Stour and Orwell Walk, and the Sandlings Walk. Each of these paths has been carefully developed to reveal the most distinctive features of the area, which can be explored in easy stages.
