‘A watery gold sunrise lights the turbulent water’: the wild beauty of the Suffolk coast
Ad 728×90
Coastal erosion may threaten the area around Southwold, but a new ‘movable’ cabin makes a great base for exploring its windswept beaches, remote marshes and welcoming inns The crumbling cliff edge is just metres away. An automatic blind, which I can operate without getting out of bed, rises to reveal an ocean view: the dramatic storm-surging North Sea with great black-backed gulls circling nearby and a distant ship on the horizon.
A watery gold sunrise lights the clouds and turbulent grey water. I’m the first person to sleep in the new Kraken lodge at Still Southwold, a former farm in Easton Bavents on the Suffolk coast.
It’s a stylish wooden cabin, one of a scattering of holiday lets in an area prone to aggressive coastal erosion.
