Well done, one of my favourite places. I have been visiting the area since the mid 50's. In those day there was no cafe and a tiny parking area. There was half a hill at the north end of the cliffs with winding paths you could climb up higher than the graveyard which I could walk through among the gravestones. From the beach it was not unusual to see a pair of leg bones protruding from the cliff. The little bridge seemed long way from the cliff edge. During the 60's I frequently spend all night fishing from the beach with my father. Sometimes getting bored, I would climb the cliff path in the moonlight: never saw any ghosts though!
Cheers Rod - great to hear your memories of Dunwich - bet it was even more fascinating back then - well away from the tourist trails - thanks again for sharing and tuning in 🙂
Thankyou for commenting - lots of folklore and ghost stories linked to Dunwich - such a shame so much of it has disappeared into the North Sea over the years - yet it remains a fascinating place!
Another great video 😊 there's so much history! That little bridge looks really interesting, you can just imagine the black shuck prowling around under it 😮
Thanks for tuning in and commenting again 🙂 - wasn’t expecting to find the little bridge in the woods - indeed you can imagine it would be the sort of place where sightings may occur
This was the first of your videos that I watched.....I've now seen quite a few more in the past week or so. Wonderfully shot, endlessly fascinating. The only time I was ever in Norfolk was when I went to Great Yarmouth for the day back in 1970. I was 4 years old so I can safely say I have no memory of that day whatsoever. Your videos & the ones posted on the Lost Norwich channel on TH-cam have made me want to go & check out all these wonderful places properly. Many thanks. Keep on keeping on
Thanks so much for the kind words. It is a real honour for you to suggest that my videos along with those on the Lost Norwich channel have inspired you to hopefully re-visit East Anglia one day. Some of my earlier videos aren’t the best quality but I like to think my editing skills have improved over time. Please stay tuned as there is plenty more to come on my channel in the coming weeks and months 🙂
@@julieblackstock8650 I didn't know till a day or so ago that Dunwich was actually in Suffolk. Either way the East Anglia region seems to be full of places of interest...I'd love to fully explore it
Hi Julie - yes I’m aware Dunwich is in Suffolk - occasionally I pop over the border into Suffolk as there is lots to explore there too - the vast majority of the places i visit on the channel are in Norfolk though 🙂
Cheers Jamie - crazy to think these old skeletons can still appear on the cliff face on occasions - the last grave is still clinging on - for how long who knows? Thanks again for commenting much appreciated 🙂
Cheers Stephen - I’ve been fortunate the times I’ve visited not too many people have been around - it is a really interesting place - lots to explore 🙂
I do not understand that this major port is not investigated further. I think this was already an Roman port, beiing opposite off the old Rhine port in the Netherlands.
HI Jacqueline - indeed - there is an incredible history to the port, once rivalling London and very wealthy back in the day. Such a shame the majority of the buildings were lost to the seas
Dunwich is not the Grey-friars alone. I think Dunwich was the port from the Rhine. On the edge of the Rhine was a Roman tradingplace called Brittenburg (now near Katwijk aan de zee also lost in the sea). Dunwich was as important as London in their times. There should be a roman fort in Dunwich.
Hi Dunwich is an amazing place and was a hugely important port. Greyfriars Priory is one of a few places I explore in the video along with the Leper Chapel within the graveyard of St James’s Church - there is an enchanting small bridge structure too in Greyfriar’s Wood which was originally built to link the grounds of the nearby Victorian mansion to the priory ruins. The footpath which runs under the bridge was previously Middlegate Street, an original medieval road which linked to the town.

Cheers Gary - Dunwich is a really interesting place - it was such an historical port back in the day - East Anglia’s version of Atlantis as they say

Excellent video. As always entertaining and incredibly informative.
Thanks again for the support Michelle - lots to see in Dunwich 🙂
Old bones occasionally weather out of the cliff face! Great vid as always mate!

Been there a few times, interesting and really atmospheric. The summertime was really nice. It does though as no surprise, get busy.
