Aldeburgh Cottages
Aldeburgh is a fascinating seaside town, the iconic Tudor Moot Hall on the seafront a clue to the long history of the town and its importance over the centuries. Despite the burgeoning number of designer shops in the High Street, Aldeburgh has lost little of its 20th century charm and is still a haven for anyone seeking a peaceful getaway.

East Coast Beach Huts
The beach huts of Suffolk are in a class all of their own. Not only are they the most expensive in the country - beach huts in Southwold change hands at prices of anything between £45,000 and £70,000 - they are also beautifully painted and decorated in the newest ranges of pretty pastels and startling primes.
Southwold Pier
Wet weather or dry, summer or winter, Southwold Pier is certainly worth a visit, whatever your age. There is none of the tacky, grubby, past-its-sell-by date feel here.
Shingle Street - A wild and magnificent wonderland
A single row of assorted cottages stands sentinel against the ravages of the North Sea whose wild and wondrous waves crash relentlessly against the shifting shingle bank. Here the Alde and Ore estuary reaches the sea, its eastern bank a narrow shingle spit running northwards past Orford to Aldeburgh.
