Dunwich Village, Museum and Heath (NT) 5 miles

Although Dunwich is now a peaceful small village it was once an important town and harbour, mostly now lost to the North Sea. A scale model in the Museum shows Dunwich at the height of its prosperity in the 13th century. Other displays cover local social history, smuggling and wildlife. Dunwich Heath (NT) is a rare and precious habitat 1½ miles south of the village which is home to birds such as the Dartford warbler and nightjar.
Museum Open Apr-Oct, Daily 1130-1630 (1200-1600 in Oct). Heath open at all times.
