A Portrait of Suffolk - John Worrall

Suffolk has a special beauty. The coast of England’s easternmost county embraces the towns of Lowestoft, Southwold, Aldeburgh and Felixstowe, and remote places such as Benacre and Shingle Street. Several rivers thread through its landscape, heading for the North Sea, including the Stour, Deben and Alde, while the port of Ipswich on the River Orwell is the county town. Historic Bury St Edmunds is the centre for West Suffolk, and Newmarket on the western edge is famed for its horse racing. There is medieval wool wealth on display in several villages, most notably in Lavenham, while the gentle rusticity of the county’s undulating interior – its fields, woods and heaths – through the seasons delights the eye. Photographer John Worrall has captured Suffolk’s essence in this collection of stunning images, portraying the county at its best. For those who are proud to live in Suffolk and for those visiting, this book is a must. Look through these photographs and you will quickly see why this corner of England has such enduring appeal.
