Welcome to the Suffolk & Essex Coast & Heaths National Landscape

Welcome to National Landscapes – the new name for the UK’s designated Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The Suffolk & Essex Coast & Heaths National Landscape stretches from Kessingland in North Suffolk, down to the Stour Estuary in North Essex.

The Suffolk & Essex Coast & Heaths National Landscape was designated in 1970 and is cared for by a Partnership, a team, and the thousands of people who live in, work in and visit it.

It is a diverse and ever changing landscape. You can enjoy a low-lying coast of shingle and sand, ancient woodland, forest, lowland heaths, farmland, valley meadowlands, estuaries, marshes, and historic towns and villages.

What does it mean to live and work in an National Landscape? We've put together some useful information to provide an introduction and everything you need to know!

New exhibition at rail stations to celebrate National Landscapes 

A new exhibition is taking place throughout November and December at rail stations across Suffolk and Essex to celebrate the area’s National Landscapes, thanks to support from The National Lottery Heritage Fund and Community Rail Partnerships.

Rail stations along the Suffolk coast and North Essex will be exhibiting a series of posters that highlight everything that makes our landscapes so special and celebrate more than 50 years since they were designated as nationally significant areas. 

The hand-drawn posters were created by Suffolk-based design agency, Steamboat Creative and can be found and viewed on platforms and in waiting rooms at Lowestoft, Wickham Market, Melton, Woodbridge, Trimley, Felixstowe, Mistley, Wrabness and Manningtree rail stations. 

The exhibition is made possible thanks to support from the Essex & South Suffolk Community Rail Partnership and the East Suffolk Lines Community Rail Partnership.
