Send flowers to Dunwich, Suffolk

Flower Delivery to Dunwich with Clare Florist

Located on the Suffolk Coast, Dunwich is a small, sleepy village that is unlikely to get you to sleep unless it is bedtime. What it lacks in size, it makes up for its many attractions, including a nature reserve bursting with flowers in Dunwich. With plenty to see and do, a trip to this village would be fun and enjoyable.

Before it was dubbed as small and sleepy, Dunwich was a thriving port in 1086 after the Norman Conquest. So it was a lot busier than it is now. In 1199, Dunwich was granted a royal charter as a sign of Henry II's appreciation of the villagers who helped turn away the boats that carried Robert, Earl of Leicester, and 3000 Flemish troops. That same year, it became a borough and gained a council, officers and magistrates.

If it wasn't for severe flooding that happened during the 13th and 14th centuries, which reclaimed portions of the land, Dunwich would have been a larger town and possibly a city. Despite all these, the natural splendour of Dunwich remains intact, and Dunwich flowers are still in abundance.

What to see and do in Dunwich

Bird watching

Because it is settled between Southwold and Walberswick, Dunwich is a strategic area for bird watching. Several endemic and migrant birds frequent the area which you can view up close or through your binoculars.

Deer watching

Visit during the autumn months and see herds of deer on Dunwich's Heath. Because it is the annual deer rutting season, you get to watch a spectacular event of courtship, rivalry and a show of virility. Think of it as watching gladiators fighting to get the prize – a female mate. The only difference is that the arena is all natural, with flowers in Dunwich scattered here and there.

Relax at the beach

Nothing best describes a relaxing holiday than to lounge on the beach and simply enjoy the view. In between relaxing, you can also play with the family and pets. Dogs are allowed on the beach all year round.

Walk along the Coastal Path

This very attractive path, with the coast running alongside it, is the perfect venue for an afternoon walk or trek. It gives you plenty of opportunities to stop and smell Dunwich flowers, or to walk your dog. Just remember to keep your dog on a lead, especially during the breeding season, as the 3-mile Coastal Path is part of the Walberswick Nature Reserve.

Visit The Dunwich Museum

Artefacts in the museum will take visitors through the various periods of Dunwich right up to date with remnants and reminders of the Roman, Saxon and Medieval times. There's also a natural history collection that tells in details the ecology of the area. The villagers also put together a DVD called extras to help you travel through time.
