The Ship at Dunwich

The Ship at Dunwich A pub with rooms a stone's throw from Dunwich beach. Cosy corners, open fire and large garden. Imagine the perfect coastal pub.
(1112)

A stroll from the beach, open log fires in winter, light and airy in summer with sheltered sun traps outside in Autumn and Spring to enjoy off season sunshine. Paired with simple, beautifully cooked food, of the season and of the place, all washed down with a pint of beer or a glass of pinot.

COMMUNITY GATHERING // Following the wildfire at Dunwich Heath, neighbours, local businesses and supporters of the community of Westleton and Dunwich came together for an afternoon of food, drink and live music at The Ship, as well as looking ahead to the recovery of our special part of the Suffolk coast. Even a downpour couldn’t stop us celebrating community!

NEW WALKING MAP // We have created a new walking map that incorporates the sea views, marshes and coastal forest to the north of our pub, in light of the wildfire on Dunwich Heath earlier this summer. Ideal for wildlife enthusiasts hoping to catch a glimpse of wading birds, be sure to stop by for a fuelling breakfast or rewarding pint for the 7-mile round route.

COMMUNITY // When times are tough, you really see the strength of a community. Thank you to everyone who sent messages, checked in and showed us kindness while we were closed due to the Dunwich Heath wildfire.

We’re grateful to be back, see familiar faces, and are thinking of ways to support the recovery of Dunwich Heath.

A LITTLE UPDATE // We're thrilled to hear RSPB Minsmere has reopened today (please check their website for any restrictions still in place) and the main road in and out of Dunwich has also opened, so access to our pub, carpark and beach carpark is now clear.
We hope to see some of our lovely community again soon!
