Suffolk Secrets

This weekend marks the end of Farmhouse Breakfast Week, and I’m going to make the most of the chance to celebrate the wealth of healthy breakfast foods found in Britain with a short break in Suffolk.

With a group of friends, I’ve booked a Suffolk cottage for a couple of nights… we can’t wait to get out in the countryside for some long walks. And the really great thing is that we’ve found no shortage of dog-friendly cottages in Suffolk, so no-one will be left out of the fun!

Westleton cottages were suggested as a good place to start our self-catering cottage search, and we found plenty to choose from. We finally settled on one which will accommodate six adults and two dogs quite comfortably – there’s even a barbecue if we feel brave enough to cook up our hearty start to the day outdoors!

From Westleton, we plan to follow the signposts for a lovely walk of around 45 minutes across heathland to historic Dunwich, where there are yet more pretty cottages – no doubt our next Suffolk holiday will be planned while we’re there! – plus a fabulous pub and beach. Alternatively, we could walk a little further across a different, more hilly heath, and get to the RSPB’s famous Minsmere reserve – there’s lots going on there at this time of year so our binoculars and cameras will be ready to capture some of the action.

All that walking is going to work up a healthy appetite, so I’m packing lots of ‘roomy’ clothes to allow for those hearty breakfasts (and evening meals!) that will keep our batteries charged. Full English anyone?
