Dunwich is in a conservation area, enjoying views across the marsh and sea towards Walberswick and Southwold adjoining Dingle Marshes Nature Reserve, Dunwich Heath (cliff top is National Trust owned) and Minsmere Bird Sanctuary. Its an ideal location for enjoying bird watching, walking, riding, cycling and sailing etc. Today it is a small village with a large shingle beach, a Heath & Forest stretching to Westleton in one direction and Walberswick in the other.

There is a very attractive Coastal Path walk running paralell to the coast which runs for about 3 miles to Walberswick, famous for its crabbing competitions !

There is a Trail you can follow around the local sites including the Greyfriars Friary and Church ruins five minutes walk from the house.

Coast/Beach:
We are less than 100 yards from a green flag beach.

Dunwich Museum tells the amazing story of a city lost to the sea through the narrative of its collection. The Dunwich story spans the first millennium to the present day.

Walk the dog at Dunwich Heath. Dunwich is part of the Suffolk Coast & Heaths Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. If you love nothing more than a long walk beside the sea, a brisk stroll before lunch, cycling along quiet lanes, sailing iconic estuaries, or spending hours quietly watching some of the UK's rarest wildlife, the beautiful landscape of the Suffolk Coast & Heaths AONB has it all.

Just a short drive or an hours walk, from the village you will find RSPB Minsmere. Here you can spend a day spotting some the UKs rarest birds and wildlife.

Walberswick and Southwold are a two mile walk in land or along the beach at low tide.
The more adventurous can take the two minute rowing ferry over from Walberswick, to buy fresh fish from the fisherman's huts, and then on to Southwold which has plentiful shops and a wonderfully 'frozen in time' pier.

Ideally placed directly between Alderburgh and Southwold.
