Suffolk’s second entry in this Top 100 is similar to its first, Woodbridge. Because while the third, Aldeburgh, is defined by seaside gorse, Purdis Heath is, as the name suggests, more heathland in nature. That said, mature trees line most fairways so there is also a good deal of the ‘woodland’ to it as well.
