From the smallest pub in the UK - to the most easterly point in the country, Suffolk has lots of secrets to be proud of, but how many have you heard of?
1) The Nutshell
Starting off in West Suffolk the picturesque market town of Bury St Edmunds boasts the smallest pub in the country - the Nutshell.
The pub, tucked away on The Traverse measures 15ft by 7ft and is even home to a mummified cat!
And if anyone from another town argues their pub is smaller, it isn't - the Nutshell is in the Guinness Book of Records.
2) The most easterly point in the country
Take a trip over to the Suffolk coast and you will find Ness Point at Lowestoft - this is as far east as you can go.
This means it is the first place in the country where you can see the sunrise.
3) The secrets of Shingle Street
Not only is Shingle Street near Bawdsey incredibly peaceful, it also has a fascinating history.
During WW2 the picturesque cottages of Shingle Street were evacuated, reportedly because it was set to become a Nazi landing site.
There are other rumours and conspiracy theories about what happened at Shingle Street during WW2.
4) The white bricks of Woolpit

They were made in kilns in the village for more than 200 years.
Records in the Woolpit Museum show that the bricks were exported across the world and it is believed the first ever White House in America was made from white bricks from Woolpit!
5) The Green Children of Woolpit
Woolpit isn't just famous for its bricks, it is also the home of the Suffolk legend of the 'Green Children'.
Legend has it that two mysterious children were found wandering in a forest in the village.
The siblings spoke an unusual language and apparently had green-tinged skin!

6) The first radar station in the world
Bawdsey in Suffolk had a significant role to play during WW2.
According to the Bawdsey Radar Trust, the first operational radar was developed there in utmost secrecy in the run up to the war.
The radar worked so well it gave the RAF the edge it needed to win the Battle of Britain in 1940.
Bawdsey was the first radar station in the world!
7) The Rowley Mile
When you speak to people that don't live in Suffolk they have often heard of Newmarket races - the home of British horseracing and the national stud.
Newmarket Racecourse is made up of two courses: the July Course and the Rowley Mile.
The Rowley Mile course is said to be the longest straight in horseracing.
8) Sudbury and the stars and stripes
It is believed that bunting made in the market town of Sudbury in Suffolk was used to create one of the first ever stars and stripes flags.
According to the Sudbury Society, a flag-maker called Mary Pickersgill in Baltimore was ordered to make a 30 x 42-feet flag for Fort McHenry in 1814.
It is believed Mary made the huge flag from Sudbury bunting that arrived in the US on a cargo ship - despite the country being at war with the UK at the time.
