Just north of the snaking River Alde and set on the coast of the North Sea, the Suffolk town of Aldeburgh is known for its vibrant arts scene. You’ll find galleries showcasing the work of local sculptors, painters, and photographers on many of its streets. Not far outside town, the converted Victorian buildings at the Snape Maltings heritage site house a plethora of galleries and cafes, as well as Snape Maltings Concert Hall, where musicians from all over the world perform.
Artists and musicians continue to flock here to take inspiration from Aldeburgh’s picturesque coastline. The town’s vast pebble beach is peppered with colourful boats and bordered by a promenade. You can spend lazy afternoons beachcombing along the seashore before dining on the promenade. Many of the restaurants feature locally caught seafood — oysters, crab, lobster — as well as Aldeburgh’s renowned take on fish and chips.

The Red House
Nestled in a lush two-hectare garden, this 17th-century farmhouse was once home to a famous English composer.
