Felixstowe attractions |
|
 Felixstowe 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: Felixstowe. |
