Suffolk's tranquil and relaxed environment makes it a great place to prepare for the London 2012 Olympic Games.
Suffolk is recognised for its unique environment and quality of life. It benefits from having a long coastline and low population and urban traffic density. As a result Suffolk is amongst those with the very highest air quality in the UK. We are also in the same weather cell as London, so that the ambient conditions at the Olympic venues will be almost identical to those at our Suffolk training bases.
Furthermore with our close proximity to London, only 120km from Stratford and the Olympic Park, Suffolk is ideally placed for easy access by road, rail and air into London. As a county we have always been passionate about sport. We are proud to be an active and successful sporting county, having gained a deserved reputation for our excellent sports training facilities.
Renowned for its friendly atmosphere, Suffolk is a confident, outward-looking place, where you are guaranteed a warm and friendly welcome and total support from everyone around you.
We look forward to welcoming you to our county.
