delightful Aldeburgh Bookshop, which has been there for more than 70 years. There are art

galleries and boutiques too.

Where to eat?

There are queues at the fish and chip shops in the summer; the enterprising White Hart pub
invites customers to enjoy them in their garden if they buy a drink. The Two Magpies bakery

and café is a favourite brunch and lunch spot, the Chocolate Teapot does homemade cakes and

at Munchies you can pick up ready meals for £5. For dinners out, the Lighthouse got a Michelin

Bib Gourmand last year, while the Regatta, run by local twins, specialises in seafood and has

been awarded an AA Rosette.

This three-bedroom Victorian end-of-terrace with sea views from the first floor is on sale for £720,000 with Flick & Son

Great outdoors?
This is an area of outstanding natural beauty with nature reserves and glorious walks. Try a

bracing walk north along the coast to Thorpeness, or along the River Alde with its gliding

swans, or the Sailors’ Path inland to Snape. The sociable and family-friendly Aldeburgh Yacht

Club will help you to find your sea legs in time for the August regatta. At the other end of the

scale is the raised pond on the seafront, which is just the right height for small children to watch

their boats float across the water.
