Located about half a mile to the north of Lowestoft is Corton. This compact village offers several holiday amenities including the regions biggest theme park New Pleasurewood Hills and two of the area's Holiday Parks.
The village sits on the cliff top. Many of the homes in the village were built by the Colman family (famous for their mustard) in the 19th Century.
Probably the best known landmark is the partially ruined St Bartholomew's
Church. Although the 15th Century tower stands hollow, the nave has been
repaired and is now a community hall.
Did you know? - The chancel in the church contains a rare medieval gable cross with an image of Our Lady on one side - there were once hundreds of these in Suffolk but now very few remain.
For the wildlife lovers and walkers amongst you, the old railway line (off Station Road) and Corton Woods are areas to be explored. The latter is an area of heath and woodland, designated a local nature reserve.
