We went in November so it nay not have been the full experience. The walks are predefined with high bushes either side which blocks the coastal views that we went for. The actual heath is a bit more open and beautiful and the dog had a lovely time. Their cafe wasn't very good - I really don't recommend the hot chocolate as it was just weak sugar water. Wasn't expensive though. Overall a nice walk.

A beautiful place for peace and quiet..lots of walks but beware the snakes and mosquitoes (july) so proper outdoor clothing if you're susceptible like me!!!...

Fantastic views, lots of walks and teaming with nature. Nice cafe and outside seating. Secondhand book shop. Shingle beach and swimming if you like that sort of thing. Toilets available.

Lovely area for walk. It has the free carpark for tge beach. Woodlands and the beautiful heaths. We go dog walking and its perfect. Certain times are dogs on leads due to birds nesting . Nice pub and museum near the beach area. National trust cafe up the road . Free carparking if you hold a nt card. Lovely views and area to sit in or outside. Easily spend a day

Absolutely stunning place! Gorgeous heath with walking trails, cafe, toilets, picnic benches parking (chargeable bring cash) & beach.

Great views from the cliff tops, free carparking for n t members,plenty of walks and dog walks

Stunning views of the coast and heath very peaceful place great for dog walking !

It's never going to be easy making a local museum a highlight of a holiday for someone, but it will live long in the memory. Small but lots to see and upstairs there's a reasonable amount of interactive stuff for younger children. I spent too much in the little bookshop, but they were all so good. This is a great example of a local museum run by people who love their village.

A small but wonderful museum with a great deal of detail about Dunwich past and present. The volunteer member was cheerful and informative. The museum is well worth a visit if you are in the area and it's free to enter although they ask for donations to help keep the place running.

It is a small museum but it is full of interesting things. The little model of the city how it was and is now clearly shows the devastation. The chap was extremely pleasant, informative and passionate with always makes for a pleasant experience.

We were staying nearby to the museum for a few days and visited the museum during our trip. It was very informative and friendly visit. We were visiting over Halloween and the museum organised a guided ghost walk around the area. Both the kids and adults in our group really enjoyed it and we were very impressed. Would recommend.

A delightful museum with an enormous amount of information packed into a small space.. A timeline around the walls of the ground floor showed Dunwich's rise from a coastal settlement to its peak as a prosperous trading port and fall through the centuries in the losing battle against the sea to its present day status as a picturesque tourist attraction. The museum staff are enthusiastic and committed to their role. I was lucky to chat with the chairman of the museum trustees (I think) who was a fount of knowledge about Dunwich and its history. On the first floor there was a chance to watch a short film about the once town/city, now village and listen to an old man (not real) tell tales of the busy smuggling trade of times gone by. For younger visitors (and old if they wanted) there were mediaeval hats to try on and guess who would wear them whilst in the reading room behind the museum there was the chance to make bath bombs, fragrant herb bags and try one's hand at dyeing using fresh flowers and herbs. All in all a great experience

I came here 25 years ago and remembered the model of the town showing how many buildings were lost to erosion by the sea. The museum is small and well laid out, and there is lots of interesting information to read. Upstairs, there were some interactive displays that children would enjoy. The recruiting booth for new smugglers was great fun. There is no charge to walk around. A suggested donation of £2 per person is requested.

We had a lovely visit yesterday, the museum is beautifully presented, with all details covered, little magnifying glasses to read coins etc.. lovely find.

I came here for a little explore with my daughter and dog yesterday (16th June), it was lovely. Such a lovely ruin of the old friary. Ideal photography opportunity! We also found the last grave, which is situated a short walk down from the ruin.

Greyfriars Friary is a must visit if you are in Dunwich. It’s free to visit and what is nice is that it’s a completely unrestricted site, so you can walk amongst the ruins which our kids loved. There are a few display signs outlining the history of the site, but other than that there not much to see and do. It only takes 30-40 mins to see everything. In sum, a great piece of well maintained history to visit but there is not much to do. Three stars.

This Friary is well worth a visit, and don't just walk in, look at 'the last grave', still not eaten away by the advancing sea as it undermines the cliffs, and then wander  straight off again.  Head into the woods to the South of the abbey (being careful near the cliff edge), and explore there a bit, see pictures below.  You can park at the car park in the village and walk back along the coast path, there's no need to walk along the narrow road, or go to the National Trust at Dunwich Heather and walk from there.  It won't take you a lot longer to walk than drive it so just leave the car at the NT car park and spend a few hours exploring the coast here, it's awesome.  You can also do it the other way round if you park at Dunwich village beachside car park, (which is free), and you won't risk getting locked in at the NT car park, as the barrier comes down pretty promptly when they all go home.  Leave a donation in their coffers if you can afford it tho, its a superb facility so lets keep it free. There's also a nice set of enclosed benches made out of disused fisherman's huts, (I think anyway), really nice, as  they are a bit sheltered.  A warm evening spent wandering along this coastline is a stunning way to reconnect with nature though, highly recommended.

A great place to visit with lovely walks in the local area too, which is an added bonus. It's really interesting to read about the history of the monastery. There's free parking just a short distance away in the local car park which also has lovely, clean public toilets.

Short walk from the beach carpark or Ship pub. Large walled plot with a horse paddock taking up most of it, but still great access from either beach or road entrances so you can walk in it and also view the last grave. There was a cemetery on the beach side which has been lost to coastal erosion - apparently look out for skeleton bones poking out the cliff - grim. We didn't see any. Boo

It is an interesting historic site that is worthwhile visiting if you are in Dunwich. Information boards are located nearby and a donation box to support ongoing maintenance is located at the entrance gate on the path close to the cliff path. It's worth visiting if you are in Dunwich.

It's a nice place to walk around. Not much to see at the monastery but with the beach and a cafe a 5 minute walk away the area is worth a visit. There is also a church with the ruins of a leper hospital here.
