Walberswick (Paperback)

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Walberswick is a village on the Suffolk coast in England, across the River Blyth from Southwold. Coastal erosion and the shifting of the mouth of the River Blyth meant that the neighbouring town of Dunwich was lost as a port in the last years of the 13th century. Following a brief period of rivalry and dispute with Dunwich, Walberswick became a major trading port from the 13th century until World War I. The British Open Crabbing Championship is held yearly to raise funds for charities. Almost half of the properties in the village are holiday homes.
