Southwold is a delightful town and a great place to visit at any time of year, whether just for a day, a weekend, for a week, or longer. You will find that this thriving resort is restricted by its natural setting and by the permanence of its nine greens and the Common. Everything is therefore condensed into a dignified but friendly working town which has much to offer the visitor. [more]
