The A1095 is an A road in the English county of Suffolk. It runs from Southwold on the North Sea coast to the A12 London to Great Yarmouth road at Henham between Blythburgh and Wangford. It is around 4 miles (6.4 km) in length and is single carriageway throughout. The entire length of the road lies within the Suffolk Coast and Heaths Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
Beginning at Southwold market place, the A1095 forms the town's High Street. It passes close to Southwold lighthouse and Adnams Brewery before becoming Station Road. It runs past the site of the former Southwold railway station before becoming Mights Road and crossing Buss Creek at Mights Bridge. The road now runs through Reydon, first as Bridge Foot Corner before becoming Halesworth Road, the name it retains along the rest of its route.
Junctions with the B1127 Lowestoft Road, leading to the A12 at Wrentham, and the B1126 Wangford Road are passed. At the western edge of Reydon the road passes Saint Felix School, an independent day and boarding school established in 1897. Running north of the River Blyth, it then passes the distribution depot for Adnams which opened in 2007, before crossing Wolsey's Creek. Hen Reedbeds, part of the Minsmere-Walberswick Heaths and Marshes Site of Special Scientific Interest and the Suffolk Coast National Nature Reserve, is adjacent to the road and is an important site for birds such as bitterns and marsh harriers. The reserve is owned by the Suffolk Wildlife Trust and is managed in conjunction with Natural England and the RSPB.
