On 1st March I decided to take a trip to Lowestoft, which is about 10 miles from where I love. Lowestoft is a coastal town in the county of Suffolk, England. I don’t drive, so got the bus there. I took a picture of the high street, which as you can see is quite long. I also like the beach there. Although the part of the beach I saw is quite small, it’s nice with the rocks. There is a small amusement arcade. This time of year is quiet, but when summer arrives, it will be busy. I also took a photo of a statue of a sailor, which honours the rich fishing industry of the town. As you can see, there is also a large river in the town, which a bridge that crosses the town for pedestrians and drivers. I found the bridge quite hair raising to walk over, as you can feel it moving under your feet as the cars drive over it lol.
Lowestoft is known to be the most easterly town in Great Britain. There is also a big fun fair on the outskirts of Lowestoft called Pleasurewood Hills. I’ve not been there for many years though, but know it’s very popular in the summer time. I like visiting here. There’s lots of shops and lots to see and do. I think I will return in the summer though when the weather is better and the seafront will be more busy with people.
It was a great trip. The city is wonderful
Thankyou Vidocka. I don’t visit there often enough. I should go more often.
Very nice written, thank you very much.
Your photos are great.
Thankyou very much Robin for the lovely comment.
Great place to visit, thanks!
Thankyou Carol. Yes, it is very interesting. It gets busy in the summer months.
Very nice historical place the beach looks good too
Thankyou Pamela. It is a very old town. I should visit more often.
can you swim in that beach?
Yes you can Mavic. I’m sure many people do when the weather is nice. When I took this photo, it was a cold and grey day though.
my regret was dipping on Baltic sea when i had the chance. tsk!!! so next time, the temperature won’t stop me.
Any further east and you would be swimming!
Yes that is true! But even in the summer, I think the sea is still too cold! Last summer we had a heatwave, so if we get one this summer, maybe I shall go swimming!
The water will always be cold, that is half the fun!
