Suffolk's location on the east coast of England means it tends to have a drier, sunnier and less windy climate than most of the UK, making it a great place to explore any time of the year. It’s a climate that appeals to people and to nature. No two days are ever the same and the changing seasons make the familiar at once unfamiliar and delight our senses at every turn.
