The county of Suffolk occupies the southern part of East Anglia and shares the same flat geography and big skies with Norfolk to the north. For photographers, the main interest in the county lies in its coastal region, where the 50 mile coastline provides numerous small fishing villages, boats and shingle beaches to photograph under those big skies. Further inland, there are some heathland areas and numerous picturesque villages, many with their own parish church and a selection of thatched cottages. There are also historical remains in the form of ruined churches and abbeys and the castles at Framlingham and Orford. As the coast faces east, many of the best lighting conditions are at sunrise, so a visit to Suffolk will involve some early mornings for the dedicated photographer.
