The county of Suffolk, in the east of England, is famous for its plains and beautiful nature reserves. Its towns and cities, with many landmarks of historical interest, are ideal for a relaxing vacation. Fairytale cottages leaning this way and that under their deep thatched roofs, country gardens bursting with colorful flowers, old pubs full of local character and local beer, lofty parish churches as big as cathedrals, lots and lots of history; it's all part of what makes visitors feel at home with this special county. Framlingham Castle is a historic attraction dating back to the 12th century. The castle grounds, which once belonged to Queen Mary I, now house a large public garden and the remains of the former Framlingham workhouse. For a unique experience, take a walk along its ramparts: with a height of 10.5 meters, you can enjoy panoramic views of Framlingham. The Suffolk coastline is lined with miles of wild beaches, and each one is different: Orford Ness is a nature reserve with flora and fauna that can't be seen anywhere else in the world. Aldeburgh, a small, artsy and sophisticated resort, which inspired Benjamin Britten's opera Peter Grimes. Walberswick is a pretty village with tree-lined streets and a wide beach with dunes. Southwold has a huge beach, soft sand and good seafood restaurants. Rendlesham Forest is a forest park about 13 miles east of the town of Ipswich. The forest, which has three trails of varying difficulty, is known because UFOs were supposedly sighted there in late November 1980. This rumor generated such a stir around the world that the government agency Forestry Commission ended up creating a specific trail of almost 5 kilometers dedicated to this sighting. And what if you really feel like stepping back in time, and visiting a medieval village that is still largely as it was more than 500 years ago? The beautiful English village of Lavenham is surrounded by beautiful countryside in the county of Suffolk, and is one of the best preserved medieval villages in Britain. And also... Escape to Ipswich! You'll love the history, culture and cathedral of this destination. In the variety of architectural monuments, it is worth noting the Sparrow mansion. It is incredibly beautiful and is surrounded by a well-kept garden. An interesting museum also operates within the walls of this mansion now.
