Dunwich Cottages
The small village of Dunwich can be found on the
Suffolk coast. It is set within a designated area of outstanding natural beauty which encompasses other coastal towns such as
Aldeburgh and Southwold. Once a thriving seaport, the town now provides a peaceful seaside retreat for those seeking a short break holiday. (For Dunwich cottages try the link provided below).
During Medieval times, Dunwich was one of the largest ports in East England, before erosion and storms claimed large sections of the village. Now a few cottages and a museum are all that remain. It was once East Anglia's capital with over 400 hundred houses, eight churches and an elaborate ship building industry. Incursions by the sea mean that much of this fascinating heritage has benn lost beneath the waves. However, Dunwich Museum provides some insight into the town's history through archaeological artifacts and national archive information. It's open from April to October and is a useful resource for those seeking info about Dunwich's eventful past.
Despite the sad demise of Dunwich, the region provides a variety of coastal paths which afford some fine vistas of the sea and run along the cliffs towards Walberswick. Much of this region is protected by the National Trust; Dunwich Common and the Minsmere Nature Reserve are some of the best examples.
