Poll declares the best eight places to live in Suffolk - but do you agree?

The poll, conducted by the website Muddy Stilettos, asked readers for their views. But do you agree with the findings?

Here is the list of the eight locations selected:

1. Southwold

The seaside town of Southwold, which was also included in a national newspaper's list of the most upmarket seaside towns in Britain, was picked as number one by readers of the Muddy Stilettos.

Readers described living in Southwold as like being "on holiday every day".

The coastal town was ranked highly because of its "fabulous architecture, great pubs, hot hotels, sandy bay and colourful beach huts".

2. Bury St Edmunds

The west Suffolk town of Bury St Edmunds was ranked in second place and was nicknamed "the jewel in the crown of Suffolk" by one reader.

Readers highlighted the number of independent shops, the lively food and arts scene and the busy streets.

3. Woodbridge

Living in Woodbridge is like enjoying "all the best bits of the gentrified Suffolk without the price tag" according to Muddy Stilettos.

Woodbridge is situated alongside the River Deben, and is about eight miles from the coast and it has a selection of pubs, restaurants and shops.

4. Beccles

Situated inland on the River Waveney, Beccles was also selected as one of the best places to live in Suffolk.

According to the Muddy Stilettos those looking to buy in the market town near the Norfolk border will "get more property for their buck".

5. Long Melford

Located near Sudbury, Long Melford has a celebrated high street with top quality galleries and antique centres to plenty of period properties and not one but two stately homes.

Muddy Stilettos described the village as a "prime relocation territory" that has "got it going on".

6. Framlingham

Home to Suffolk superstar Ed Sheeran, the central Suffolk town has sublime castle views and is surrounded by the county's best countryside according to Muddy Stilettos.

7. East Bergholt

East Bergholt claimed seventh place and is said to be a popular place to live for those who commute into the capital.

8. Polstead

Located three miles northeast of Nayland, the village of Polstead was also named as one of the best places to live in the county.

Muddy Stilettos said: "We've cherry-picked this quintessential Suffolk village due to its pleasing amount of thatched cottages, historic church, beautiful rural setting and manor house thrown in for good measure."
