Suffolk is known for its beautiful flat landscape and wide open skies, but there is more to the county than just endless acres of farmland.

This summer Suffolk has seen a boom in the number of tourists choosing to staycation in the county.

So, here are five unique places for tourists and locals alike to visit:

Sutton Hoo

Sutton Hoo in Woodbridge is a beautiful 255-acre estate with far-reaching views of the River Deben. The estate is also home to one of the greatest archaeological discoveries of all time.

Visitors can learn about the 1939 discovery of an Anglo-Saxon ship burial which was recently dramatised in Netflix blockbuster The Dig.

The dragon's outline was constructed on the hillside because of a local legend. The legends says that in the middle ages, the servants of a local knight attempted to kill a dragon they had encountered in the area.

The dragon can be seen from Cuckoo Hill to Clickett bridle path on the east side of Bures.
