For those of you that prefer a little bit more peace and quiet
away from the summer crowds of visitors touring Suffolk,
now, as Autumn is just round the corner, is the perfect time to explore just
what Suffolk
has to offer.
If you are a keen on nature, Suffolk has an abundance of
wonderful wild-life and bird reserves, Minsmere, Timley Marshes and Dunwich to
name a few. The reserves are particularly interesting as Autumn approaches, as
thousands of birds are planning their migration south for the warmer climate,
and of course we expect to play host to thousands seeking refuge
from the cold Arctic winter.
It is
well known that the stunning Suffolk landscape
inspired many artists such as Thomas Gainsborough and John Constable, in fact, Suffolk prides itself on
being known as Constable Country. There are a number of fantastic country walks
where you can experience the autumnal shedding of leaves, or for those who
prefer something a bit more energetic, an abundance of cycling routes for all
ages and agility.
If you
prefer the slower pace of strolling through the picture postcard villages, you
will find you are surrounded by quaint Suffolk Pink thatched cottages and there
is also a great choice of many market towns to visit, one of the most
well-known is Lavenham. With a history steeped in the cloth and wool trade, the
cooked houses that line the streets date back to the 14th and 15th
century and really are a sight to behold.
Located
in the town of Lavenham
is The Swan Hotel, a blend of 15th Century heritage and 21st
century comfort. It’s the perfect hotel to be based when touring the beautiful Suffolk countryside. It
boasts two AA Rosettes for its fine food and a choice of character bedrooms or
for a touch of luxury try the half-timbered suite.
