Some days all we want is a bit of quiet and some peace to help us unwind.
Here are five peaceful places to visit in Suffolk.
1. Covehithe Beach
Where: Covehithe, Beccles, NR34 7JP
Covehithe is only accessible by foot or by bike which can make it feel like you are the only person around for miles.
Those who seek it out can enjoy a peaceful walk through the changing wilderness.
2. Shingle Street
Where: Woodbridge, IP12 3BE
Shingle Street is unlike other Suffolk beaches like Southwold or Felixstowe.
There are few facilities here which makes it more quiet, and perfect for those wanting to escape noise.
Seals can often be spotted basking along the mile long stony beach.
3. Abbey Gardens
Where: Bury St Edmunds, IP33 1XL

The diverse landscapes of Minsmere make them ideal for a huge variety of wildlife.
5. Christchurch Park
