Reydon as a base near Sizewell

Reydon sits immediately west of Southwold on the same peninsula and shares the same coastline, the same beaches and the same set of restaurants, at noticeably lower rents and with proper driveways. For a stay of more than a few weeks, it is the more practical of the two for anyone arriving by car. For a placement in the area, the question is rarely about the town in isolation, it is about how the town fits the way the work moves. Reydon fits in the way described above.
