With its famous pier, lighthouse and beach huts, Southwold is certainly one of the most popular resorts in East Anglia. Granted a Royal Charter back in 1489 by Henry VII, Southwold has a fascinating history and many links with the past can still be seen all over the town. The centre piece is the magnificent church, with its 100 foot tower and dedicated to the last king of East Anglia, St Edmund. Nearby, the lighthouse, also 100 feet tall, has given safe passage to sailors and fishermen since 1890. The pier and its history are closely connected to that of Southwold. Its original use was, of course, practical – it was a landing stage for the steamships which arrived from London Bridge. #uk #britain #suffolk #england #coast #sea #pier #coastal #seaside #sunset ](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/6204874/a50d3131-9bbc-4a5d-b491-5cfe61089358.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=1040&h=580&q=mediumHigh) --- - ![find price illustration](https://a.travel-assets.com/travel-assets-manager/pictogram-bex/light__find_price.svg) ### Explore activities Explore thousands of experiences from activities and attractions to day tours and transfer. - ![calendar shield illustration](https://a.travel-assets.com/travel-assets-manager/pictogram-bex/light__calendar_shield.svg) ### Book with ease Skip the line- book tickets online in minutes to top attractions with free cancellation on many activities. - ![trophy illustration](https://a.travel-assets.com/travel-assets-manager/pictogram-bex/light__trophy.svg) ### Treat yourself One Key members save % or more on select activities, hotels, cars and vacation rentals.

A society was formed early the following year and activities commenced; a Nissen hut behind the Flixton post office soon became the base. In May 1976, the (now) museum was officially opened by the late Wing Commander Ken Wallis who went on to become President.](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/553248621532509394/b39222ac-96fd-4baa-98b5-d8ec0c1d8f0f.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=512&h=288&q=medium) ### Bungay ![Footpath into Pontin's Holiday Village, Pakefield taken from bus stop on A12.](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/3000713476/13c21ff9-a160-4011-a261-8f21d8474052.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=512&h=288&q=medium) ### Kessingland ![Blythburgh nature reserve ](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/6204874/ab2c2722-3c4b-4145-bcd2-29569b2380c9.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=512&h=288&q=medium) ### Reydon ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/mad-service/footer/bnaBanners/BEX_Footer.jpg) ## Go further with the Expedia app Save even more - get up to 20% on select hotels when you book on the app. Our app deals help you to save on trips so you can travel more and manage it all on the go.
