Defences for defences, East Lane, Bawdsey Not long ago this Martello tower was far from the sea, but now it needs major works to protect it, and the nearby house, from erosion. Rocks are not a natural feature of Suffolk.

One of many old groynes The force of the sea (at times) is clearly illustrated here by the steepness of the shingle bank.

Great place for a weekend stay.
Michael was great as a host and had terrific communication. The unit is spacious and well laid out. The only issue was the couch. It looked great but was uncomfortable. The propertv is a block away from the entertainment district. Perfect place for a weekend get away.
