East of England
The East of England is a perfect mix of soft and gentle countryside, ancient cities, historical towns, and storybook villages. Its coastline is largely untouched and studded with nature reserves, ideal for bird-watching, while the traditional beach resorts offer old-fashioned seaside fun.
This region includes the counties of Essex, Suffolk, Norfolk and Cambridgeshire.
What to see in the East of England
Essex is full of quaint villages with a smattering of old towns and traditional seaside resorts, including Colchester and Southend-on-Sea.
The river Cam winds its way through Cambridgeshire; punting along the river in Cambridge is a good way to relax and take in the many famous university buildings that dominate the waterfront along the ‘Backs’. Further along the river is the ancient cathedral city of Ely, once an island before the Fen drainage. The flat Fenland has a network of rivers and canals, ideal for narrowboat trips, as are the Norfolk Broads.
Norfolk itself is very flat, sparsely populated and tranquil, popular with walkers and cyclists, while the numerous nature reserves attract a variety of wildlife. It also has a beautiful coastline; the seaside towns of Great Yarmouth and Hunstanton are major draws.
This unspoilt coastline stretches into Suffolk, ‘Constable Country’. Full of space, with picturesque villages set amongst lush green countryside dotted with timbered cottages and ruined abbeys, the county is home to Newmarket, the horse racing capital of the world.
