Suffolk Coast and Heaths AONB

Come and explore the stunning Suffolk Coast and Heaths Area Of Outstanding Natural Beauty on your Woodfarm Barge break.

There are beautiful places to visit all around the world. However, we don’t have to fly off to an exotic far away location to experience some of the best that mother nature has to offer us and the Suffolk Coast and Heaths is one example on our doorstep!

Right here in Suffolk, we possess 55 miles of absolutely stunning heritage coastline which is part of an Area Of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) featuring 155 square miles of breathtaking unspoilt landscape. And we just happen to have two Holiday Cottage Barges here!

In the Suffolk Coast and Heaths AONB there’s something for everyone to enjoy: Estuaries with a plethora of birds and other wildlife, ancient heathlands, breathtaking beaches, and a treasure trove of historic towns and villages.

So come and be inspired by the Suffolk Coast and Heaths AONB. Over the years a multitude of writers, musicians, and artists have visited the area and drunk deep from the well of inspiration nature has to offer the fortunate traveler. Writer Eric Arthur Blair even took the River Orwell for his surname, adding it to ‘George’.

Book a break on a Woodfarm Barge and you can also experience this stretch of England. You may well arrive stressed and a little burnt out by the fast-paced rush of today’s world, but you’ll leave refreshed and revitalised.

When you join us to explore the Suffolk Coast and Heaths AONB you can take things at your own speed.

Marvel at the rich variety of birds and wildlife at Thorpeness, Walberswick, Orford or Sutton Heath. Or visit one of the most immaculately preserved piers in the country at the lovely seaside town of Southwold. Spend a day listening to music on the bandstand at Aldeburgh or shopping for those perfect mementos at Snape Maltings.

Go fast or go slow, it’s up to you. Go and see all that the Suffolk Coast and Heaths AONB has on display. You won’t be disappointed!
