Getting there

Planes

Although nearby Cambridge and Norwich have small airports | the nearest major aviation hub is London Stansted | to which Ryanair flies from Glasgow | Newquay and Derry (www.ryanair.com). Fly there with easyJet from Belfast | Edinburgh | Glasgow and Newcastle (www.easyjet.com).

Trains

Trains from London Kings Cross to Cambridge or Bury St Edmunds take around 45 minutes; Liverpool Street to Ipswich takes an hour or so.

Automobiles

It’s a couple of hours’ drive to the Suffolk coast from London | along the initially functional and then scenic A12. The Breckland region around Tuddenham takes about the same time to reach from London – go up the M11 and then take the A11.
