Suffolk Coast Path

Stretches 50 miles along Suffolk's shingle beaches, salt marshes and clifftops between Felixstowe and Lowestoft. Mostly flat with gentle undulations, easily split into manageable sections. Suitable for older children but too long and exposed for buggies. Dogs welcome on leads near wildlife reserves. Delivers big skies, wading birds, crumbling coastal heritage and proper seaside charm – outstanding for birdwatching and breathing in that North Sea air.

King Charles III England Coast Path: Aldeburgh to Southwold

Follows the dramatic Suffolk coastline over shingle beaches, low cliffs and grassy clifftops with constantly changing sea views. Terrain alternates between flat beach walking (which can be tiring on loose shingle) and gentle inclines on clifftop sections. Suitable for older children used to longer distances, but pushchairs won't manage the shingle or uneven coastal paths. Dogs welcome on leads near nesting birds (March-August). Highlights include Dunwich Heath, the crumbling village of Dunwich,

Sandlings Walk

Stretches 89km through Suffolk's unique heathland and coastal landscape, following sandy tracks and quiet paths between Ipswich and Southwold. Mostly flat to gentle terrain with some soft, sandy sections that aren't suitable for buggies. Best tackled in sections – popular day walks include Dunwich Heath and Snape Maltings stretches. Dogs welcome. Offers rare wildlife spotting, WWII heritage sites, and atmospheric coastal views across shingle beaches and pine forests.
