Kessingland is a former fishing village with great historical 'treasure'. The Doomsday Book identifies it as Rodenhall, an important town back in 1086. Both Palaeolithic and Neolithic artifacts have been unearthed in Kessingland and the remains of an ancient forest lie buried on the seabed. Kessingland relies on the area's tourism trade. The population doubles in the holiday season with holidaymakers visiting the holiday camps and caravan sites that are in and around Kessingland to take advantage of the entertainment and social benefits of the village. There is also a Wildlife Park situated on the southern edge of the village. What's on in Kessingland.

Kessingland is Just four miles south of Lowestoft and is a small yet
charming village. Once rumoured to be the richest village in England, it is
proud of its strong sense of community and has created its own unique character
from its depths of historical riches!
This former fishing village now owes much of its popularity to its assortment of
holiday accommodation, services and award winning beaches. Kessingland owes much
of its sea protection and beach conservation to probably the most famous of
Kessingland's residents, novelist Sir Henry Rider Haggard (1856-1925). Although
born in Norfolk and educated in Ipswich. In 1900 he bought The Cliff Grange,
later renamed the Kessingland Grange, as a holiday home. Whilst at the grange he
experimented successfully with marram grass to protect the beach from the sea,
which can still be seen today.
The then Lord of the Manor, George Staunton, was also concerned with sea erosion
and set lupin plants along the cliffs. These can still be found today alongside
other wild flowers to add a little extra to the village's award winning
stretches of coastline. The area is a haven for all wildlife and conservation
enthusiasts due to its close proximity to the popular site of Minsmere. With
many walks and cycle tracks sited around the village, Kessingland makes a
perfect setting for a tranquil stroll through the countryside or on the sand and
shingle beaches. More
