About Suffolk County Council

Suffolk is scattered with gorgeous English market towns, rural villages and beautiful countryside. Its remoteness makes it particularly lovely, giving the option to explore everything from seaside resorts to agricultural landscapes. Historic forts and abbeys give a rich heritage, alongside an impressive rugged coastline. Visit Newmarket, the home of British horse racing, or Ipswich for maritime life. Constable Country is an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty where painter John Constable was born, and Bury St Edmunds has abbey ruins and Suffolk’s only cathedral. Step back in time with a visit to Suffolk’s Wool Towns, which were once among the wealthiest places in the country.
