Dunwich Heath Coastal Centre and Beach

Tucked away on the Suffolk coast, Dunwich Heath offers you peace and quiet and a true sense of being at one with nature. A rare and precious habitat, the Heath is home to special species such as the Dartford warbler, nightjar, woodlark, ant-lion, adders and much more.
Quiet and serene, wild and dramatic, this is an inspiring visit, whatever the time of year. From July to September, the Heath is alive with colour, a patchwork of pink and purple heather and coconut scented yellow gorse is an unmissable experience. Note: parking restrictions may operate at times of extreme fire risk.
