A new brochure from Suffolk describes why the county should be first choice when it comes to short breaks. Choose Suffolk welcomes visitors to pretty villages, castles and windmills, wide open skies, peaceful countryside and heritage coast - all of which are to be found within its borders.

From the Sutton Hoo burial ship to Bury St Edmunds cathedral and Lavenham medieval wool town, Suffolk is steeped in history, while Newmarket has the added attraction of more than 35 race days a year.

The coast of Suffolk stretches nearly 50 miles from Felixstowe to Lowestoft, much of it an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, and the popular seaside resort of Southwold still draws visitors to see its natural beauties and sample the local Adnams ale.
