Walberswick Area Guide

Walberswick is a seaside village sitting on the Suffolk coast, separated from Southwold by the River Blyth.

A tourist hotspot in summer, Walberswick has a long sand and shingle beach and is surrounded by beautiful marshland.

Walberswick offers tranquil nature reserves, local pubs and scenic coastal beauty, perfect for a peaceful lifestyle.

The nature reserve of the River Blyth Estuary, which covers 1,000 acres, is perfect for anyone interested in wildlife and is home to a wide range of bird species, deer and otters. Over the river Blyth, you can see the town of Southwold, which can be accessed across the Bailey Bridge. In the summer months, you can take the foot ferry across, too. If you do, Sole Bay Fish Company is a must-visit.

Walberswick is the self-appointed capital of crabbing: the World Open Championships are held here every August when the village is packed full of hopefuls bearing crab lines dangling bacon. This beloved seaside tradition attracts families and competitors of all ages, creating a lively and nostalgic atmosphere. You can also see neighbouring Southwold over the river and reach it by hopping aboard the charming foot ferry that operates during the summer months.

Looking for a property in Walberswick?

The idyllic seaside village of Walberswick is home to a picture-postcard green, surrounded by pastel cottages and villas, cafés, shops, and pubs all just a stone’s throw from the glorious beach. Walk over the bridge and out across the dunes to bask in the stunning views of Sizewell Beach to the south and Southwold to the north. Find a spot to sunbathe among the marram grassy dunes or head towards the crashing waves for a paddle or swim before returning to the village for fish and chips or hearty pub grub and a pint.

Walberswick is home to two pubs: the Bell Inn, run by Adnams, and The Anchor, an award-winning pub known for its local seasonal produce. There is also The Parish Lantern Tea Room, and the Black Dog Deli is perfect for picking up any foodie bits. Like many of these seaside villages in Suffolk, Walberswick is serviced by one road into the village, connecting it to the A12, which links Lowestoft to Ipswich and then London. Although Walberswick village doesn’t have a school of its own, Southwold Primary and Reydon Primary are both close by and the nearest independent school is Saint Felix at Southwold.
