Dunwich located on the Suffolk Coast of England, in the southeast region of the North sea. Lower figure shows the existing parish boundary in yellow. (Maps derived from Google Earth).
Marine transgressions and fluvial processes have created a shallow valley and former estuary to the north of Dunwich. This has subsequently been filled in by estuarine sediments with the closing of the spit and barrier beach that runs south from Walberswick.
The Dunwich river now runs north through the Dingle and Walberswich marshes to join the River Blyth at Walberswick harbour. Land use in the parish is dominated by heath, marsh and coniferous and mixed woodland with some improved pasture.
