Thorpeness Beach

Overlooking the unique planned village of Thorpeness with its distinctive mock-Tudor architecture and famous House in the Clouds water tower, this shingle beach offers a fascinating glimpse into early 20th-century English eccentricity. The calm waters of the adjacent Meare provide safe boating for children, while the beach itself is perfect for fossil hunting and enjoying the village's whimsical atmosphere, complete with its own golf course and the mysterious Thorpeness Windmill.
