This ancient market town lies on the banks of the River Waveney, in Suffolk. It is located on the edge of the Norfolk Broads National Park, close to rivers, lakes and unspoiled woods and meadows. The city of Norwich is 16 miles to the northwest, while the vast sandy shores of the Suffolk coast are a short distance to the east. Wander along the river bank from your holiday cottage in Beccles, and explore the historic town centre, where there are a variety of boutiques and antique shops. Beccles is famous for its markets, with stallholders selling the finest local produce every Friday. By the river, there is a lido and a museum with fascinating exhibits. The Caxton Arms, at Douglas Place, is a welcoming pub serving Suffolk ales, while Graze is one of the town’s best restaurants, with delicious meat and seafood dishes.
