Best walked to from the cliff path.

Beach Café

Highlight • Beach

Chip and Fish, tea and cake. What is not to like?

Tip by

7.97 km

Plenty of parking here at the beach and possibly the best fish and chips in the area. There's a great walk to Walberswick from here if you head north along the beach and if you head south along the cliff you come to the monastery ruins.

St Andrew's Church and Ruins, Walberswick

Highlight • Religious Site

St Andrew's is the fourth church to have been built in Walberswick. It is tucked into the south-west corner of the ruins of the third church. Personally I think the church and ruins are best viewed first thing in the morning as the sun rises from the east

Great stop for coffee and snacks before hitting the trail across to Dunwich which is almost opposite the the Deli
