Kessingland

Kessingland is a small seaside town in Suffolk within The Broads National Park, about 7 km south of Lowestoft. It is of interest to archaeologists as palaeolithic and neolithic implements have been found here; the remains of an ancient forest lie buried on the seabed.

The Suffolk Coast and Heaths area was designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in 1970, and the Suffolk Coasts and Heath Project runs many conservation projects.
