So, my family has a little getaway on the Suffolk coast, and it's just one of my favourite places ever! We've been going there since I was a teeny tiny child, and it just doesn't really get old. England, is not famous for it's glorious weather, and even when the heavens open, the weather chills and the winds seem to be at war, it's always a pleasure. There are four particular places that I love, Sizewell, Thorpeness, Aldeburgh and Southwold! They're such beautiful places, and well worth a visit (try not to go in peak Summer, it can get rather busy).
There's the cutest Silver jewellery shop in Aldeburgh, that do the most amazing rings and other pieces! Definitely spend way too much money there!
For lunch or dinner (or even a place to stay), head to Brudenells. The view is spectacular, and the fresh fish dishes will leave your mouthwatering!
So, basically what I am trying to say, is that you don't HAVE to leave England for a nice Summer (or even Winter) break. The Suffolk coast is beautiful, and there are so many little towns and villages to go visit, including Wickham Market, home to one of Britain's greatest butchers: Revetts!
