The
Village of Atwick is another example of a village with a rural
feel and yet it is so near the coast it is seen as a seaside
resort.
The Village circles around the green which is graced by benches
and seasonal flowers in barrels which are a pure delight to see.
At one side of the busy B1242, which passes straight through the
middle of the village, is the Post Office and Village shop and on
the other The Black Horse Public House. The outbuildings here are
the original stables which would have been used in the early 1900’s
as overnight stops when horses and carts were used for deliveries.
On the green in front of the Village Hall an ancient stone cross
raised on three steps stands stately but, whose origin little is
known about.
The Church of St Lawrence stands at the west end of the Village
and is believed to be the third to stand on this site. It was
rebuilt in 1876 using red brick and has a saddleback tower and
tiled roof.
Along the narrow road leading to the cliff tops can be found Cliff
Top Farm with its caravan park and also the Melford Caravan Park.
The sea is now less than half a mile away from the village, this
is due to coastal erosion over the years which has left the
Village of Attenwick totally under the sea.
