Suffolk walks--- Dunwich Heath 30th/ March

I am sure it was mother's day, we went up to see Marilyn and had bootiful (Suffolk accent!) walks in the Dunwich Heath. This is yet another National Trust place and beautiful coast line and beach.

I never visited there before, been to surrounding area for walks though... This is my recommendation (and Minsmere by RSPB) for Suffolk coastal walks. It's really beautiful. We had lovely day out for mother's day. 


I can imagine in winter, there'll be full of purple heather, yellow flowers, sea kales, and full of wild life.... there was view points with some posters explaining what sort of wild marine life they had there. I know it's gping to be really chilly and cold, but I would love to visit when those heathers are full, must be an awesome sight. Need to wrap ourselves up!

Guess what, we read about dolphins and wheals, come and visit the coast there. I couldn't believe it, I love dolphins and wheals, that made me even more want to become a frequent visitor to the Heath.

When we were walking through the footpath, smelt something yummy! Coconuts! it came from yellow gorse, it was everywhere and pretty. 

Here's some photos from the Heath.

It'll be full of purple heather in winter!
