Southwold was once the place time forgot. Locked in a fifties time warp safe and sandy and the epitome of the English seaside. What a huge shame that the very thing that folk have loved is being horribly spoiled by over advertising . True it is the bank holiday and true the family would not always have chosen this weekend to travel but honestly walking with the family to the harbour and around it was awful today. Made worse by the selfish, lazy folk who drove round in a circle rather than get out and walk. It was like walking along the A 14! Please salvage something of the beauty of this place before it is too late. Stop the harbour being a drive through , which is ridiculous and make such places truly traffic free or the very thing you advertise becomes more of a travesty.
Hi Susan Amos,
so sorry you picked a bank holiday to come, I think you would
have found most coastal villages much the same. Unfortunately it’s the volume of visitors that tend to spoil the ideal, I hope you visit out of season to see the true beauty, all the best
This is a working harbour, not the set of heartbeat. Perhaps we should all don smocks and genuflect towards the cash rich numptys from inside the m25 who are kind enough to come east and throw scraps to the peasant’s. Happy days … Oooerrr.
