It is a coast well known for its quiet beauty, with a mix of seaside resorts, ports, hidden beaches and coves, river estuaries, heaths and forests. There is plenty to explore and discover.

The principal places covered are:

The River Stour • Shotley Peninsula and River Orwell • Ipswich • Felixstowe • Bawdsey • Shingle Street •Woodbridge • Sutton Hoo • Orford Ness • Snape • Aldeburgh and Thorpeness • Leiston and Minsmere • Dunwich • Walberswick • Blythburgh • Southwold • Cove Hithe, Kessingland • Lowestoft

A lively text and many wonderful photographs provide endless ideas for walking trips into the countryside, towns and villages, while for the armchair explorer there is also much to enjoy in this new addition to the acclaimed Halsgrove Discover Series.

Philip Morgan is a writer/photographer who contributes regularly to regional newspaper and magazines including both Suffolk Life and Norfolk Life. He also sells his photographs for use in calendars. Philip previously studied law for five years but decided to take up writing seriously as something that had long been a passion.

Nice Book

John Leggatt - 08th January 2013

A very interesting book about the Suffolk coast. I enjoyed all the details about the history and things to see and the photos are great. It is ideal for taking out on trips to the coast or for simply reading at home and definately recommend it.
