While fishermen still sell their daily catch from huts on the beach, the high street boasts a number of award-winning restaurants and bistros. Independent shops and galleries line the street and along with Snape Maltings Concert Hall, Aldeburgh provides the backdrop to a rich musical heritage, with Benjamin Britten’s worldrenowned Aldeburgh Festival of Music and the Arts held in June. On the seafront, the Moot Hall houses the town’s museum and is a focal point, with its ancient timbers and outside staircase. At the top of the Town Steps, leading off the High Street and up the cliff, there is a wonderful view over the roof tops and out to sea. In nearby Leiston, the Long Shop Museum, provides a fascinating insight into the 250-year old engineering history of Richard Garrett (the Richard Branson of his day), and Elizabeth Garrett Anderson, the first female doctor. The RSPB’s flagship reserve at Minsmere is four miles from Aldeburgh and The National Trust’s Dunwich Heath, is just eight miles. Two miles from Aldeburgh, in Thorpeness, you can spend a day boating on the magical, early 20th century meare with its Peter Pan themed islands. 8
...A TRADITIONAL RESORT FOR ALL THE FAMILY The most obvious attraction of Suffolk Coastal is its unspoilt coast and countryside. Here, you’ll find almost limitless opportunities for walking, cycling and horseriding, along with award-winning beaches at Felixstowe, Aldeburgh, Thorpeness and Sizewell. CHOOSE SUFFOLK COAST2008 Felixstowe Beach The resort of Felixstowe is a haven for small children and the elderly with a wide, flat promenade. Further up the coast are more intimate towns and villages, including Aldeburgh, Dunwich and Walberswick. Each offers a different variation on the seaside experience, from wild shingle beaches to glorious sandy dunes. The countryside is enchanting. To the west of the A12 trunk road, there’s a patchwork of gently rolling arable fields and small woodlands. To the east, much of the land forms part of the Suffolk Coast and Heaths Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. This is a very special landscape, a fragile mosaic of heaths, forest, wetlands and coast that collectively support some of the rarest wildlife in Britain. Here, there are many nature reserves to explore, way-marked trails and three longdistance paths (Leaflets available from Tourist Information Centres).
