2025 Waveney District Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in May)

#getgoing2025 Walberswick Beach, Suffolk On the south side of the River Blyth’s mouth, Walberswick’s long, grassy dune-backed beach is much quieter and wilder-feeling than neighbouring Southwold across the river. It’s just a short walk from its postcard-perfect village, which has several solid pubs, is the unofficial crabbing capital of the UK, and home to screenwriter and director Richard Curtis and his broadcaster partner Emma Freud. Catch Dani Church’s row-boat ferry across the river (it takes about five minutes) to the excellent fish restaurants right opposite on the Southwold bank
