Walk from Kessingland to Southwold ....

We prepared a packed lunch and set off along the beach heading towards Southwold. 

The beach is a mixture of pebble and sand dunes

The broad is fenced off to protect the Little Tern Chicks

Between Benacre Broad and Covehithe Broad we ventured inland a short distance to see the ruins of Covehithe Church.



We followed the cliff path



We came across lots of working farms rearing pigs - bigger than you think and not to be messed with particularly when they have piglets to protect - 



Along the cliff path we noticed there is much evidence of land erosion

Stopped here for lunch 



After our pitstop, we continued our walk along the beach.


We were fortunate to see a baby seal resting on the beach.

We watched the youngster make its way to the sea.

We asked a local passing dog walker if this was a common occurrence on this beach. She replied it was, but the fishermen didn't encourage their presence.
8 miles later at Southwold .. Time for a cup of tea ....





 Caught the bus back to Kessingland
