At my most easterly
« Southwold | Hemsby »

Towards the north end of Lowestoft is Ness Point, mainland Britain's most easterly point. It's an insignificant-looking place, but an important marker: the back of East Anglia has been broken and I'm starting to head west again.

North to the east
« Dunwich | Great Yarmouth »

The final part of the fifty mile Suffolk Coast and Heaths Path, this section is also the most glorious: an almost dead straight line from the laid-back tourism of Southwold to the more industrial Lowestoft.

The best moment in this walk isn't while you're walking. The best moment is the ferry across The Blythe. Grab a seat in the small rowing boat in Walberswick, pay your twenty pence and sit back as your captain takes up the oars and takes you upstream before using the current to glide the boat across and back downstream to the landing point on the other Southwold shore.

The first bridge across the river is only ten minutes or so upstream, but the ferry's by far the more enjoyable option.
