Suffolk represents quintessential East Anglia, a region that has locally distinctive architectural styles, regional accents, scenery, culture & climate. The county, which is low-lying but by no means flat, has some of its best scenery along the coast: a soft, dreamy landscape of river estuaries, remote marshes, reed-beds, beaches, shingle banks, sand spits & dunes. Elsewhere in the county can be found undulating farml&, sandy heaths, shady river banks & extensive forests. The area also has much appeal to visitors for its manmade heritage: the distinctive rural architecture of the Stour Valley (with its Constable painting associations) on the Suffolk-Essex border, the ancient town of Bury St Edmunds, the great country houses with their estates, ancient thatched churches hidden away from view & unspoiled market towns. Suffolk is also well known for its Anglo-Saxon heritage
- the royal ceremonial burial site at Sutton Hoo & the reconstructed Anglo-Saxon village at West Stow.
