For the bird reserve, see RSPB Minsmere.

Minsmere is a hamlet on the Suffolk coast a couple of miles south of Dunwich, within the Suffolk Coast and Heaths AONB.

Ranulf de Glanvill built an abbey on the marshes here in the 12th century, but this was abandoned in favour of Leiston Abbey in 1363. It is recorded in the 14th century as being a small village with around 10 homesteads, but these had all been lost to the sea by the 16th century. During the 18th century, it was renowned as a hotbed for smugglers.
