Defences for defences, East Lane, Bawdsey Not long ago this Martello tower was far from the sea, but now it needs major works to protect it, and the nearby house, from erosion. Rocks are not a natural feature of Suffolk.

Felixstowe, Suffolk is a well loved, traditional seaside resort known for its Blue Flag quality sand and shingle beach, long promenade, perfectly kept seafront gardens and variety of seaside attractions. Further North of the town are the Six Martello towers, built to prevent Napoleonic invasion, which stand on Felixstowe’s coast going up towards Aldeburgh. Five of these towers are private and unused (one pictured above), and one has been converted into a private residence house. #uk #england #britain #europe #coast #sea #coastaltown #seagroynes #sunrise
