Suffolk is an outstandingly beautiful county. There is a
thriving arts scene and lots of places to visit for example,
Jimmy’s Farm, the RSPB reserve at Minsmere and the ancient woollen
towns of Lavenham, Southwold and Bury St Edmunds. Flatford
Mill nestles in the Stour Valley where John Constable painted The
Haywain, Gainsborough’s House is in Sudbury and the beach at
Aldeburgh is adorned with a much-discussed Scallop sculpture in
celebration of the work of composer Benjamin Britten who was born
and grew up in Lowestoft.
As well as a thriving local agricultural industry, several
international organisations are based in Suffolk for example, BT at
Martlesham, Felixstowe Port, Newmarket Race Course and Snape
Maltings Concert Hall.
Suffolk has also become the newest county with a university
campus in the county town of Ipswich.
