Southwold Gun hill cannon artillery gunnery town North Sea Waveney Suffolk England Area Outstanding Natural Beauty beach
Southwold is a town on the North Sea coast, in the Waveney district of the English county of Suffolk. It is located on the North Sea coast at the mouth of the River Blyth within the Suffolk Coast and Heaths Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The town is around 11 miles (18 km) south of Lowestoft and 29 miles (47 km) north-east of Ipswich. It is within the parliamentary constituency of Suffolk Coastal. The beach is a combination of sand and shingle. In 2005/6 it was further protected by a coastal management scheme which includes beach nourishment, new groynes on the south side of the pier and riprap to the north. It is overlooked by brightly painted beach huts. Southwold Harbour lies south of the town on the River Blyth, and vehicular access is by two roads; Carnsey Road to the west, and Ferry Road to the east. It extends from the river mouth to nearly a mile upstream and serves mainly fishing boats, yachts and small pleasure boats. The clubhouse of Southwold Sailing Club is located on the north side of the harbour. The quay and area in front of the Harbour Inn is called "Blackshore"; although this name is often, but incorrectly, used to refer to the whole of the Harbour.
