England Coast Path - Dunwich Heath Diversion
England Coast Path Dunwich Heath Diversion
Due to the Summer 2026 wild fire that tragically devastated Dunwich Heath in Coastal Suffolk, the entire Heath area, including the coastal margin, and all footpaths within an extended area are now out of bounds to the public. This could last for up to 6 months before it is declared open again. The route described on this walk is the recommended diversion for those undertaking the England Coast Path section between Aldeburgh and Southwold.
