Dunwich
Dunwich at first looks like a fairly uneventful coastal village but it's worth a visit to learn about its fascinating past. 
Right on the Eastern coast it was once a thriving port, similar in size to London but storms, erosion and floods have almost wiped out this once prosperous village which was the capital of East Anglia. All that now remains are a few cottages where once there was six churches, three chapels, two monasteries and even a mint.  
It's rumoured that most of it is under the sea and on a quiet day it's said you can hear the church bells of the doomed village still ringing out ... 
Check out the small museum which tells the story of the village under the sea. 
These days Dunwich Heath is one of Suffolk's most important and scenic conservation areas. Ideal for walkers and tourists who like a good ghost story!
