Suffolk Coastal is a beautiful area, rich in heritage and
culture, offering excellent schooling, good choice of housing and
one of the lowest crime rates in the country. With charming market
towns and 40 miles of
Heritage Coast, as well as good travel links to London,
Cambridge and the Midlands, it’s easy to see why so many people are
choosing to live and work here.
Covering 340 square miles, with a coastline stretching south
from the windswept beauty of Walberswick down to the bustling
resort of Felixstowe, which is also home to Britain’s busiest port,
the district takes in over 100 different and often
distinct towns and parishes with a population of
122,000.
Much of the district is nationally recognised for its high
landscape quality and was designated as
the Suffolk Coast & Heaths Area of Outstanding
Natural Beauty (new window) while many sites, particularly in
the coastal area, have been designated as Sites of Special
Scientific Interest. Rural and farming issues continue to play an
important role, while at the same time the district is home to the
Port of Felixstowe (new window) and also BT’s
Martlesham Heath research and development headquarters, that plays
a key part in the Cambridge to Ipswich
technological corridor (new window).
The area boasts some of the county’s best
performing best performing schools (new window) - in
both the private and public sector, as well as a range of leisure
facilities that would satisfy most outdoor sports
enthusiasts - sailing, horse riding and golf are particularly
well catered for, along with miles of scenic walks.
There is also a wide range of housing offering the best of old
and modern, village and urban, excellent local food from country
pubs to top class restaurants, plus a crime rate that makes the
district one of the safest in England and Wales.
Suffolk Coastal is a great place to live and
work!
