Pakefield North

About

Pakefield North is a residential area situated on the northern edge of Lowestoft. The streets are primarily lined with a mix of interwar and post-war housing, providing a settled neighbourhood feel. The area is bordered by agricultural land to the west, creating a distinct edge between the town and the open countryside. This proximity to farmland contributes to a quieter atmosphere compared to the central urban areas.

The defining feature is its position atop the eroding clay and sand cliffs overlooking the North Sea. The coastline here is actively managed, with significant sea defences in place. Pakefield Beach below is accessible, and the area includes the parkland of the former Pontins holiday camp site, which is now being redeveloped. The main thoroughfare, London Road, runs through the area, connecting it to the wider town.
