Laxfield was once a thriving town with 26 shops and several pubs a 500 year old Guildhall - now a fascinating museum tracing the lives of Suffolk's 19th and 20th century farming folk. The church is magnificent and there is an excellent general store. With lovely walks around, this is a village worth exploring.

Best beaches The Suffolk coast is a half hour drive away, if you want busy and picturesque visit Southwold with its sandy beach and pier. If you are looking for wild go to Benacre Broad - a walk from the car but one well worth making. A little further south is Dunwich and of course Minsmere.

Best walks There is an excellent network of walks around the village and across the countryside. Close to the Suffolk Coast & Heaths Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, there are wonderful woodland, heathland and cliff top walks with many opportunities for bird watching etc between Westleton and the coast.
