Principal towns: Bury St Edmunds Ipswich Newmarket Sudbury

Suffolk is quintessential England. A rural county of old market towns, the gently rolling countryside that inspired the paintings of John Constable , quiet villages with colour-washed cottages, medieval churches and abbeys, and broad vistas of sea and sky. A place to explore at a gentle pace, uncovering in turn the countless treasures in its endlessly varied fabric.

Among the finest of treasures is the royal Anglo-Saxon burial site at Sutton Hoo , often described as 'page one of the history of England'. Ipswich is one of the first 'English' towns. The Abbey of Bury St. Edmunds was where the barons of England first swore to compel King John to sign Magna Carta . In medieval times the wealth generated by the wool trade made Suffolk the richest part of England and left an astonishing heritage of manor houses and churches that endures to this day. King Charles II 's enthusiasm for horse racing led to the Newmarket becoming the centre of the sport and to the building of a royal palace for his frequent visits.

The Suffolk coast is a great source of inspiration, whether to writers like PD James and Ruth Rendell , poets such as Crabbe or the composer Benjamin Britten , whose name is almost synonymous with Aldeburgh as a result of the great music festival that he and his friends established here. It is not just for artists though; there is just as much to attract small-boat sailors to the Deben and Orwell rivers, bird-watchers to reserves such as Minsmere and walkers to the heritage coast path. And we can offer some fine beaches on the driest and sunniest side of England, notably at Lowestoft .

The lanes and byways are particularly suited to exploration by bicycle. The gently undulating terrain ensures constantly varying views without being too strenuous. Each turn in the road may reveal a patch of ancient woodland, a moated farmhouse or a distant church tower under the ever-changing sky.

Visitors of course need more than heritage and scenery, and Suffolk does not disappoint. In the towns or the countryside alike, there are some of Britain's finest hotels and restaurants, B&Bs and cottages . There is beer from our own breweries, wine from the vineyards. There are sufficient craft and antique shops to keep the shopper busy for days at a time.
