Waveney District

Waveney District is often thought of as the poor relation of Suffolk. Nothing could be further from the truth. Other districts have their timber framed buildings, and or expansive sea views and countryside yet Waveney has all these and more. Let us taking you round the District.

DISTINCTIVE FEATURES

We have the benefit of

Fine, thriving old market towns eg Halesworth, Bungay

Fantastic flint churches eg Rumburgh

Prehistoric remains at Pakefield – the earliest site of man in England

The gateway to the Broads and its newly created National Park at Oulton Broad

The much maligned Bascule Bridge in Lowestoft which was used as the prototype for the mechanical refurbishment of Tower Bridge!

Henham Park with its landscaped gardens

Somerleyton Hall and gardens

The annual 2 day Lowestoft International Airshow with its nostalgia and leading edge displays and normally featuring the world famous Red Arrows. This event now runs in parallel with the powerboat racing scene at Oulton Broad.

The fastest eroding coastline in Britain and the attempts to protect it

The gem that is Southwold with its newly built pier, the famous Adnams brewery and its ultra green distribution centre at Reydon, its lighthouse in the town and of course its highly sought after beach huts!
