Not only in local gardens have snowdrops appeared early this year but also in the wild, as these here at Dunwich, to join the abundance of year-round flora and fauna to be found in the Blyth Valley area of north-east Suffolk.  February is a great time to visit this area – crisp mornings entice an early walk along the beach (and maybe a quick dip?) while the clear night skies display countless stars as bright as jewels.  The lengthening days encourage exploration of the heaths, woods, commons and footpaths that abound here.   Take it easy just for a few days, relax and be refreshed.  Choose either a traditional B&B or stretch out with the roomier self-catering option - see our accommodation choices in the menu bar below. The Blyth Valley Suffolk, from Laxfield to Southwold
