Accommodation Near Thorpeness; the strangest, gentlest village on the Suffolk coast.

The Meare is the centrepiece, a man-made boating lake with hand-painted signs from the Peter Pan stories and rowing boats by the hour. The House in the Clouds sits a short walk away and now operates as a holiday home; the windmill next to it is open in summer. The beach is one of the quietest stretches of the Suffolk coast, wide, shingle, with the silhouette of Sizewell B further north.

The coast path north to Sizewell takes about an hour at a relaxed pace and is one of the best short coastal walks in Suffolk, beach, low cliffs, marshland and the curious sight of the power stations rising in the distance. South to Aldeburgh is shorter and runs along the seafront the whole way.
