RE: Walking the Suffolk Coast

I informed the Environment Agency of their incorrect spelling, I wonder if they ever changed it? With anticipated rising sea levels I can't help but think that the Broads at Easton Bavents, Covehithe and Benacre will cease to exist

Easton Bavents to Covehithe, distance two miles there is no access along the cliffs, officially some of the land is private and marked as such, a lot of people are seen walking the beach but it is not for me to tell you the access points in case of trespass, officially the only access point is at Benacre/Kessingland Sluice gate and that is quite a way up the coast on the SH&CP or via Covehithe Church taking a left turn on to the beach at Benacre Broad opposite the bird hide

St Andrews Church at Covehithe is within the larger ruins of an earlier church, there is room to park your car here but notice how close the church is to the cliff edge and unfortunately getting ever closer

Danger if walking here with children or a dog there is a sheer drop on to the beach where the road has been washed away

Covehithe Broad

This is the view of Covehithe Broad, it is odd to see this area as there is washed tree trunks cluttering the area and on one visit here it seemed like a moonscape, completely abandoned, again like Easton Broad the Broad at Covehithe looks very vulnerabl

We came across this gruesome sight on the beach a couple of years ago at Covehithe, I think it is a young Dolphin

This is the view of the erosion from the cliff top on the Benacre side looking South, I haven't been for a couple of years but I wouldn't mind betting that where I was standing to take this photo that piece of land won't be there now
