Aldeburgh
The popular seaside town of Aldeburgh, home of Benjamin Britten and the famous Aldeburgh Fish and Chips, is a must-visit for anyone staying in Suffolk. The shop-lined high street runs from one end of the town to the other and here you can find a selection of both independent and national-chain shops, cafés, galleries, pubs, a cinema that's been active since 1919 and more often than not, a long winding queue for the fish and chip shops.
Things to See and Do
There's much to see and do in Aldeburgh; The Red house, where Benjamin Britten lived, is now the home of the Britten-Pears Foundation and you can visit the studio where Britten composed including the Gallery, library and the gardens. The famous Aldeburgh Scallop, designed by Suffolk-born Maggi Hambling and made from steel by Aldeburgh steelworks can be found to the North of the town on the beach as you head towards Thorpeness.
