When you think of Suffolk you probably picture the wonderful coastline or the rolling fields of the countryside.
But do you ever think of some of the quirkier places and attractions that call the county their home?
Here are five unique places and attractions in Suffolk you have to visit in 2024.
1. The Nutshell
Where: 17 The Traverse, Bury St Edmunds, IP33 1BJ
Measuring just 15ft by 7ft, the Nutshell in west Suffolk is the smallest pub in Suffolk.
It has been serving ales from the region since 1867 and is now a tourist attraction visited by many.
In 2016 it lost the Guinness World Record for being the smallest pub in Britain.
2. Scallop
Where: Aldeburgh Beach, Aldeburgh, IP15 5BP
Just a short walk away from Crag Path car park you will see this giant scallop shell sculpture.
Maggi Hambling crafted the two halves of a broken shell out of steel in 2003.
In April last year a photographer captured the Milky Way above the sculpture.

3. House in the Clouds
Where: Uplands Road, Thorpeness, IP16 4NQ
Overlooking Thorpeness Meare and the Suffolk Coast, the House in the Clouds is accommodation where you can stay.
The house was constructed in 1923 to hide a water tower used to supply the village of Thorpeness.
The accommodation is spread out across five floors with five bedrooms, a game room, and 67 stairs.
4. Bures Dragon
Where: Bures, CO8 5BP
The Bures Dragon was created as part of the Queen Diamond Jubilee celebrations in 2012.
It was constructed using 100 tonnes of chalk and relates to the tale of Sir Richard Waldegrave who tried to kill a dragon on his land with arrows.
The chalk figure can be seen along Cuckoo Hill and can be viewed from St Stephens Chapel.

A truly unique site is seeing desert animals in the Suffolk countryside.
The park has Bactrian and Dromedary camels as well as a range of other animals including wallabies, meerkats, and ring-tailed lemurs.
It operates seasonally and will be open again later this year.
