About

Beccles lies on the River Waveney, which forms the border with Norfolk. The town centre is compact, centred on the large open space of the Newmarket, with narrow streets leading down to the quay. A network of dykes and marshes surrounds the settlement, a legacy of its location within the Broads river system.

The town is defined by the tall, detached tower of St Michael's Church, which stands separate from its main body. From the top of this tower, views extend across the surrounding farmland and waterways. The quayside provides a base for boating and connects to the broader network of footpaths crossing the agricultural landscape.
