Get out and about in Suffolk

With the lowest rainfall in the UK, and our coast catching the first rays of sun, Suffolk offers a great climate and beautiful countryside. Whether you’re into cycling, sailing, walking and flying (or just eating and watching) Suffolk offers a wide range of outdoor pursuits.

Be inspired by Suffolk's landscape and history and bring it into a child's learning.
