Defences for defences, East Lane, Bawdsey Not long ago this Martello tower was far from the sea, but now it needs major works to protect it, and the nearby house, from erosion. Rocks are not a natural feature of Suffolk.

One of many old groynes The force of the sea (at times) is clearly illustrated here by the steepness of the shingle bank.

Great place for a weekend stay.
Michael was great as a host and had terrific communication. The unit is spacious and well laid out. The only issue was the couch. It looked great but was uncomfortable. The propertv is a block away from the entertainment district. Perfect place for a weekend get away.

Cities near Bawdsey

Felixstowe, Suffolk is a well loved, traditional seaside resort known for its Blue Flag quality sand and shingle beach, long promenade, perfectly kept seafront gardens and variety of seaside attractions. Further North of the town are the Six Martello towers, built to prevent Napoleonic invasion, which stand on Felixstowe’s coast going up towards Aldeburgh. Five of these towers are private and unused (one pictured above), and one has been converted into a private residence house. #uk #england #britain #europe #coast #sea #coastaltown #seagroynes #sunrise
