Bramfield has the award winning Queens Head Pub and Restaurant, serving very good food using the best of local produce.
Local attractions:
Southwold has a sand and pebble beach with its famous colourful beach huts and newly rebuilt pier with traditional old-fashioned games. It is a lovely old town with excellent shops and restaurants where you can enjoy a stroll along the sea front or, for those seeking excitement, take a trip on the exhilarating coastal voyager to see the seals at Scroby Sands or the wildlife along the Blyth Estuary. Alternatively, take the scenic walk from Southwold up the Blyth River across the bridge - or by the little ferry - across to the picturesque village of Walberswick.
Walberswick - a short walk across fields and sand dunes to a lovely sandy beach where children can have hours of fun catching crabs on the bridge by the car park or playing on the beach.
Dunwich offers a pebble beach and is less busy than the others. A beach side fish and chip shop opens during the summer and closes at 5.00pm.
