Welcome to Your County

  • Suffolk is a county of contrasts. There's the rolling countryside abundant with nature and riddled with traditional towns and villages that are steeped in history. And then to the east is the breathtaking Suffolk coast, boasting little fishing villages roaring with trade, smart cosmopolitan towns and stunning nature reserves. Architecture is a prime attraction with several unusual and extremely old properties becoming national treasures to be preserved for future generations. But most of all Suffolk is a place of natural beauty, which has drawn millions of visitors to the region. Familiarise yourself with some of the county's best-loved towns and villages and take the time to venture to places you have never been before by using this Your County website - complete with an interactive map. Your County has the support of Suffolk Passenger Transport, which provides easy ‘green’ ways for people to explore the county by bus.

    …places to “pick your own”

    Supermarket fruit out of season can be so disappointing. Bland, over-ripe, too sour and woolly in texture, the strawberry (usually jetted in from sunnier climes) is always the worst offender. In the summer there is no need to go anywhere
