Cycling East Anglia

In 2008 and 2009 I cycled the Suffolk coast. Along the way I discovered that there was far more to Suffolk than I had previously thought. This blog should eventually provide useful and practical information ofr anyone to do the same, and make it interesting too.

Orford Ness

Fascinating history - from glorified pig pen to cutting edge nuclear research laboratory, and now, wildlife sanctuary and museum.

Aldeburgh

Aldeburgh on Google maps

The place is a bit poncey, very middle class. The reasons for this quickly become obvious.

Aldeburgh Festival every June

There's a carnival in August

Benjamin Britten lived here too.
An excellent Fish and Chip shop which always seems to be shut when I'm there.

and apparently, Thomas Dolby lives there.

Stour Valley

There is a new Youth hostel near Maningtree, which I can recommend highly.

The nearby River Stour (See Wikipedia).

Considered to be Constable country.

Swallows and Amazons

This is a very well known spot - nice cycle ride, but food's expensive. didn;t have any but it looked good, and smelt good, but at those prices, you would expect nothing less.

It's a nice spot though - I stopped to have a beer.
