Suffolk is a fantastic UK holiday destination all year round, but visiting in Autumn provides a particularly special experience.
With fewer visitors, quieter beaches, mesmerising colours, crackling fires, seasonal activities and cosy holiday cottages in Suffolk– what’s not to love?
Here are seven things not to miss in Suffolk during the Autumn months.
Discover A Hidden Beach
Don’t let the colder weather put you off exploring. Wrap up warm, grab a flask of your favourite hot drink and head out to Benacre Broad. This natural beauty spot is an isolated lagoon situated on the Suffolk cost. Beaches provide a tranquil setting during the colder months, making it the perfect autumn holiday activity.
Climb Up The Castle Mound At Clare Castle Country Park
Clare Castle Country Park is home to the remains of an 11th century stone castle, set on an impressive 60ft high mote. Feel the autumnal breeze on your skin as you climb to the top and explore the castle ruins. Make a day of your trip and visit the Victorian railway buildings, children’s play areas and walking trails.
Get Your Spooks From Little Fort Of Horrors
If you’re visiting Suffolk during the Halloween season, don’t miss a night of screams, scares and surprises at one of the most haunted places in Britain. Little Fort of Horrors is a popular annual hallowed event that’s guaranteed to give you a fright.
Dance The Night Away At A Family Halloween Disco
Get the whole family involved in choosing a costume for Pauls Sport & Social Club’s popular seasonal event.
There will be snacks and drinks available, a DJ playing all your family favourites and even a prize for the best fancy dress.
Connect With Nature At RSPB Minsmere
Autumn brings new wildlife as animals work hard to prepare for winter.
RSPB Minsmere is the perfect coastal destination for wildlife lovers to experience this beautiful season. There is a wide range of activities on offer for all ages. Why not try something different and book a 4×4 ride to explore the reserve and see areas that are not applicable on foot?
Enjoy A Fun Family Day At The Great Framlingham Sausage Festival
Join locals for a day of food and entertainment in the town of Framlingham at the Great Framlingham Sausage Festival. Local sausage makers will be there to sizzle sausages for you to taste as you walk around the stalls and take part in the free workshops.
Tour One Of Suffolk’s Award-Winning Vineyards
