I have yet to discover much of Suffolk but I have discovered Warbleswick and I love to walk there. The dogs love it too, we park off Lodge Road near East Sheep Walk and wander down through the trees onto Oldtown Marshes, across the footbridges and Corporation Marshes and down to the pebble beach.
The sea might not be the same colour as in Cornwall but the waves echo the same sounds on the shingle and elicit the same feeling of space and freedom. Lovely.
And the flotsam and jetsam is similar, with the sea sculpting tree trunks into strange shapes and mouldings.
Along the coast path we wander, towards the beach huts and the ferry.
Past the pubs and the shops with lovely cards and selections of jewellery and clothing, books and curios. There's a couple of cafes too but I prefer to walk on up through the village to the Black Dog Deli for coffee and Polenta Cake, if they have it. The quiches and lunch snacks are also delicious, as are the takeaway salads. There is even a bench just outside the deli, under the awning and a small garden area to the side if you want to sit and enjoy your purchases and to ensure your comfort there are blankets kept in a blanket box by the door to provide some extra warmth whilst you sit, should you need it.
Then on up through the village, branching back onto Lodge Road and taking the bridleway alongside Hoist Covert and back to the car through the woodland and pathways.
