Aldeburgh is a unique place..loved by resi- dents and happily visited by thousands of holidaymakers and day trippers. A former fishing port with a long history, it became a gentrified seaside resort in Ed- wardian days and is now a bustling, vibrant town. Walk down the High Street on most days of the week and the pavements will be full of shoppers, art gallery aficiandos, culture vultures and people just looking for a thor- oughly good day out. The High Street still retains an old-world charm thanks to the many independently- owned shops that add substance and style, complementing the usual collection of chain store outlets. And the beauty of Aldeburgh is that you don’t need to travel too far to get away from the hurly-burly of the main shopping street. A vast expanse of shingle beach is just yards from the High Street where you can find peace and quiet on the sea-washed pebbles - if you ignore the insistent calls of ever-hun- gry seagulls. Walk down Crag Path from the Brudenell Hotel to the Moot Hall and marvel at the
WELCOME TO ALDEBURGH
sights and sounds of Aldeburgh - fabulous villas on the left and the sea on the right, huts selling fish, the Lifeboat Station, the yacht pond for very junior sailors and the fabulous Tudor building of the Moot Hall - in the space of half a mile you can capture the full flavour of the town! From the Brudenell, walk in the opposite di- rection to discover a totally different world.... a river estuary brimming with sailing boats, fabulous views across wild marshes, the Napoleonic-era Martello Tower and, in the far distance, the Orford Ness lighthouse, its light now sadly extinct. So whether you’re a shopper after a bit of retail therapy, a walker who enjoys the big landscapes of this bit of East Anglia or just in need of a comfortable beach, Aldeburgh has the lot. Enjoy it!
