The Ship Inn, Dunwich

Highlight • Pub

A great pub by the seaside - so much more than just the finish line for the Dunwich Dynamo. Its got a beautiful interior and bar, and a wonderful spacious walled garden if the weather is nice. There are a few rooms at the pub, but book in advance as they fill up quickly.

Greyfriars Monastery Ruins

Highlight • Monument

A fascinating and ancient ruin. There are a couple of information points on site that show how the monastic site originally looked and who it was managed by. One by the main gate arch by the road and another by the cliff top footpath.
