Southwold, Minsmere, Walberswick, Dunwich, Snape, Aldeburgh, Halesworth and Woodbridge are each within a half hour's drive of the cottage and are certainly worthy of a visit. Between them they offer everything from nature reserves, concerts, birdwatching, antique shops, art galleries, historic buildings and coastal walks. The excellent Parham Airfield Museum is also close by.
