Christmas in
Blythburgh. Pictures of the Christmas tree festival in the
Church, and from the village's own Bavarian-inspired Christmas
market, are on THE NEWS
PAGE.
Blythburgh is a small village in northeast Suffolk, just under 100
miles from London and four miles from
the
North Sea at Southwold. It is set in a landscape of outstanding
natural beauty with tidal river, marsh, heath, small woods, pasture
and arable fields. Its magnificent medieval church commands the
valley of the river Blyth and acts as a beacon for travellers on
the A12 trunk road that links London and Yarmouth. The 300 or so
inhabitants are either clustered close to the main road and
church, or live in scattered cottages and farmhouses in the fields.
Visitors keen to enjoy the cultural and recreational possibilities
of the area swell the residents’ numbers: artists, birdwatchers,
music lovers, and others come seeking relaxation in a rural
environment. Yet Blythburgh’s modest state today belies its past
importance.
