Dunwich manages to do just this. Known as the lost city of England, this tiny village certainly has a story to tell. Dating back to Anglo-Saxon times, Dunwich once stood proud as the capital of the Kingdom of the Eastern Angles, at its mightiest matching 14th century London for size. It was a seat of power for the Anglo-Saxon bishops for centuries, an international port, and the Domesday book of 1086 puts the population at over 3000. The little village of Dunwich was once a thriving seaport; but over the centuries the sea reclaimed the town leaving not much behind except for a wonderful stretch of beach. This expanse of shingle seems to go on forever in both directions, backed by low crumbling cliffs. Dunwich beach is set in a break between the cliffs where the road literally ends on the beach. Here you will find a number of small boats pulled up on the sand and a the National Trust tearoom. In fact, the National Trust own the beach and much of the surrounding countryside including Dunwich Heath which runs along the coast. This whole area is teeming with wildlife which thrive in these rare habitats. Just a short drive from Dunwich you will find RSPB Minsmere. Here you can spend a day spotting some the UKs rarest birds and wildlife including the Avocet, Bittern, Otter and Red Deer.

Overall this was a positive experience. The cottages are sited very attractively and the well maintained swimming pool - on an exceptionally hot weekend - was very much appreciated. However a few factors detracted from an overall excellent review. Chief among these were the poor quality, very uncomfortable mattresses in the twin-bedded room, causing loss of sleep! There is a lack of storage space in the living area for personal items, books, tablets, toys, etc and would suggest the large bookcase is emptied of the owner's contents, possibly leaving a couple of titles and a boxfile for local interest leaflets. Unfortunately, having enjoyed the swimming pool there were no hooks, e.g. in the shower or over the bath, on which to hang dripping costumes though the small heated rail was appreciated for drying towels. Apart from the mattresses, we very much enjoyed our stay and our comments are meant to be helpful, rather than critical.
