About Beccles
Beccles has a Georgian town centre, a fine church tower, and a riverside quay where boats moor on the Waveney. The town has independent shops, restaurants, a weekly market, and a lido (outdoor swimming pool) that is open in summer. The Waveney Valley around Beccles is some of the most peaceful landscape in the Broads area.
Things to Do
Walk along the River Waveney from the quay. Visit the town centre and explore the Georgian architecture. Swim at Beccles Lido in summer. Hire a boat on the Waveney. Drive south into the Waveney Valley towards Bungay for more countryside exploration.
