Dunwich, almost like the Atlantis of Suffolk is a lost city that existed in medieval times but due to coastal erosion, no longer exists. Only a few buildings remain with a few medieval ones in ruins that once sat on the outskirts of the city. The ruined Friary is a stunning and romantic ruin and so is the chapel in the churchyard.

This walk begins by the beach at Dunwich and heads south into Dunwich Heath, a nature rich and rare landscape. After enjoying an ice cream at the National Trust cafe we then headed along the beach back to Dunwich.
