Southwold is a village and also civil parish on the English North Sea shore in the East Suffolk district of Suffolk. It lies at the mouth of the River Blyth within the Suffolk Coast and Heaths Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The town is about 11 miles (18 km) south of Lowestoft, 29 miles (47 kilometres) north-east of Ipswich and also 97 miles (156 km) north-east of London, within the parliamentary constituency of Suffolk Coastal. The "All Usual Locals" 2011 Census number gives an overall of 1,098 individuals for the community. The 2012 Real estate Record by the Southwold and also Reydon Society ended that 49 per cent of the homes in the community are made use of as second residences and allow to holiday-makers. Although once home to a variety of different markets, Southwold's economic situation nowadays is mainly based upon services, as well as specifically hotels, vacation lodging, food catering, as well as tourism. With the surrounding locations largely given over to agriculture, the town is an essential business centre for the location, with a number of independent stores, cafés and dining establishments; and also a market on Mondays as well as Thursdays. Nevertheless, there has been a significant fad recently for selling chains, consisting of food and drinks, clothes as well as stationery stores, to take over previously independent retail properties. Adnams Brewery is located in Southwold, and also is the community's largest solitary employer. Although the fishing fleet as well as the sector generally is much reduced, Southwold Harbour continues to be among the primary fishing ports on the Suffolk coast. In 2012, added facilities for the fleet were constructed there, as part of the fixing and reinstatement of the Harbour's North Wall.
