Beccles attractions |
|
 Beccles lies in Suffolk, a county of picturesque well-preserved
towns, villages of colour-wash and thatched cottages and a fine
selection of medieval churches. Suffolk borders Norfolk to the
north, Cambridgeshire to the west and Essex to the south, with
the North Sea lying to the east. Its county town is Ipswich and
other important towns include Lowestoft and Bury St Edmunds.
The county is noted for having been the home to two well-regarded
painters, Thomas Gainsborough and John Constable - the Stour
Valley area is known as "Constable Country" - and the
famous composer Benjamin Britten. Photo left: Beccles. |
