The gem of the River Waveney will fascinate the visitor, whether it be for their firs or one hundred and first visit. The church of St Michael standing in a dominant position overlooking both the town and surrounding meadows is the welcome viewpoint for miles around as you approach this popular Suffolk town.

Beautiful architecture and history abound, indeed Beccles is recorded as Becles, a market town in the Doomsday Book and a large part of the old town designated as a conservation area. Interesting, varied and unusual properties are to be found on just about any of the “gates”, which fan out from the town square.

Nestling as it does on the River Waveney with a choice of some of Norfolk and Suffolk’s finest countryside literally on the doorstep, Beccles is a unique location in many ways. Walkers, painters, cyclists, fishermen and sailors all find Beccles their ideal destination for a short refreshing break. Not to mention the shopping either. For Beccles is particularly well endowed with an assortment of retailers to rival many a larger town. With its atmosphere of small market town hustle and bustle without the city stress – shopping itself is a delight for visitors and locals alike.

Other leisure facilities are available in abundance such as golf, swimming and numerous activities at the town’s Sports Centre. For a longer stay you may be interested to know that all the usual services such as schools, doctors, vets, dentists, etc… are all easily accessible within the town itself or the surrounding areas. Furthermore the expanding town has small industrial estates where up to the minute technology blends with the natural craftsmanship with which this part of East Anglia has such a reputation. Whether you come to Beccles for an hour, a day or longer … whether you come by rail, car, boat or bicycle, you are sure to find yourself captivated by this unique ancient town.
