A town for As Suffolk’s most aspirational seaside town, Southwold is renowned throughout the UK as a sophisticated and stylish staycation destination. What makes Southwold special is the fact that the town has resisted the temptation to change with the times too much, and in the process has ensured that visitors to the town enjoy a quintessential British seaside town experience not dissimilar to the one that greeted previous generations. Time may have stood still, but that doesn’t mean the town has the air of a living museum or mired in nostalgia – it offers the perfect combination of the new and the old, while also appealing to well-heeled visitors used to the creature comforts of the city during their visit. So while many people come to Southwold year after year for the lighthouse, the pier, the beach huts and sandy beaches, there is more to enjoy in the town at any time of year. Yes, there are timeless fair-weather activities like catching crabs or messing about on the water at the boating lake (before taking a much-deserved afternoon tea), but there is more to explore. There’s the Adnams brewery tour, for instance – a fine example of a Southwold stalwart that refuses to stand still after more than 670 years. Book a place on their tour and find out all about the beer making process, enjoy a guided tasting session and leave with a signature bottle of beer to enjoy at home. And it’s not just beer at Adnams – the Adnams
