Welcome to Sizewell

Sizewell is a small village located on the coast of Suffolk, England. It is known for its nuclear power station, Sizewell B, which is the UK's only pressurized water reactor. The power station generates enough electricity to power over two million homes and is a significant contributor to the UK's energy supply. The station has been in operation since 1995 and has a good safety record.

Apart from the power station, Sizewell is also a popular tourist destination. The village has a beautiful beach that attracts visitors from all over the country. The beach is a great place to relax and enjoy the sun, and there are plenty of activities to keep visitors entertained, such as swimming, surfing, and fishing. The village also has a number of restaurants and cafes that serve delicious local cuisine, making it a great place to visit for foodies.

Despite its popularity, Sizewell remains a quiet and peaceful village. It is surrounded by beautiful countryside, and there are plenty of walking and cycling trails for visitors to explore. The village is also home to a number of historic buildings, including the Sizewell Hall, which dates back to the 16th century. Overall, Sizewell is a great place to visit for anyone looking for a relaxing break by the sea.
