Suffolk

Suffolk, a low-lying county sandwiched between Essex and Norfolk, makes up much of the East Anglia region. It's not home to the most dramatic of landscapes but has a great deal of charm and lots of pleasant rural areas, plus the heaths and woodland of the Suffolk Coast have been designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty – and are explorable by way of an alluring long-distance coastal path. As for hotels in Suffolk,  you can find plenty of places to stay out and a wide selection of hotels and B&Bs (and also glamping options) along the coast, while the county's towns – notably the county town of Ipswich and pretty Bury St Edmunds – offer lots in terms of things to do, places to eat and accommodation options.
