After the historic village of Lavenham was named one of the best places in the UK for a solo trip for The Guardian, we have rounded up some other great Suffolk spots.
1. Lavenham
We agree with The Guardian that this quaint and quirky market village is a great place for a solo trip, with its numerous antique shops and delicious delicatessens.
Parts of the village featured in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1, and formed part of Godric's Hollow.
The crooked and colourful houses make it a beautiful place to just wander around. It is as if you are stepping into a magical wizarding world!
2. Bury St Edmunds
Bury St Edmunds has an increasingly impressive reputation for food, making it an ideal spot for solo foodies to enjoy the cuisine on a weekend away.
The Abbey Gardens make for a lovely location to explore and settle down with a good book for an afternoon in between meals.
3. Framlingham
Framlingham is a small town not far from the popular seaside destination of Aldeburgh.
The oldie-worldie location has a marketplace, which hosts regular weekend markets, as well as several independent shops such as Curated and Ruby Tiger.
The castle is the namesake of Ed Sheeran's song Castle on a Hill and is in the home town of the singer-songwriter.
It also forms the backdrop for The Detectorists, a BBC comedy that features actors Toby Jones and Mackenzie Crook, who are often spotted wandering around the town.
4. Southwold
Southwold has so much going for it, making it a great place for a solo traveller.
From the numerous fish and chip shops to the expansive sandy beaches, it is a great location for a weekend trip with beautiful fresh seafood and scenery.
It is also the home of the Southwold Sausage Dog Walk which sees hundreds of people flocking to the beach to walk their pooch. If you have a four-legged friend, why not bring them along?
5. Woodbridge
Woodbridge has the best of both worlds: a lovely market town with several shops and restaurants, as well as quick access to the River Deben for long and picturesque walks.
This is ideal for solo travellers looking for a slower pace of life for a weekend.
Why not grab a coffee and pastry from Honey & Harvey and explore the historic streets?
6. Sudbury
Sudbury makes for a good base for those looking to get out in the beautiful natural landscape of Suffolk.
Located right on the River Stour, visitors to the town can hire boats or paddle boards and explore the waterways for the day, or go on a bike ride along the disused railway track.
7. Aldeburgh
The final recommendation for a solo trip to Suffolk is Aldeburgh.
With the pebbled beach and easy access to nearby tourist hotspots such as Snape Maltings, there is plenty to keep you busy on a weekend away.
On a sunny day, you can explore the town, ducking in and out of the independent shops or stopping for a leisurely lunch in one of the cafes, and on a rainy day a trip to the quirky Aldeburgh independent cinema is a must.
