With some great road trip options in the surrounding area, renting a car makes good sense. Without one, it’d be much more difficult to experience all that Stowmarket, 16 miles away, has to offer. See the best sights starting with EmZo, Cotton Mechanical Music Museum and Carters Teapots. Reydon is another terrific option. It’s 17 miles away and has an array of intriguing things to see and do. Southwold Beach, Southwold Pier and Dunwich Heath and Beach are just the start.
