Blythburgh
Just a few minutes drive from Westwood Cottages – or a trip across the river by rowing boat ferry – is the delightful market town of Southwold.
The town centre has a wide selection of shops, restaurants and galleries. Take a look at the lighthouse and walk along the recently restored pier, or sample one of the famous Adnams Ales in one of the many local pubs.
The bustling harbour has fresh caught fish for sale from the fishing huts and the Coastal Voyager boat provides more adventurous visitors with sea and river trips, including regular trips out to sea!
