Places to see in ( Aldeburgh - UK )
Places to see in ( Aldeburgh - UK )
Aldeburgh is a coastal town in the English county of Suffolk. Located on the North Sea coast to the north of the River Alde, the town is notable for having been the home of composer Benjamin Britten and as the centre of the international Aldeburgh Festival of arts at nearby Snape Maltings founded by him in 1948.
Aldeburgh remains an artistic and literary centre with an annual Poetry Festival and several food festivals as well as other cultural events. Aldeburgh is a former Tudor port and was granted Borough status in 1529 by Henry VIII. Its historic buildings include a 16th-century moot hall and a Napoleonic-era Martello Tower.
Aldeburgh is a tourist destination with visitors attracted by its Blue Flag shingle beach and fisherman huts, where fresh fish are sold daily, and Aldeburgh Yacht Club as well as cultural attractions. Two family-run fish and chip shops are cited as among the best in the UK.
Aldeburgh is on the North Sea coast and is located around 87 miles (140 kilometres) north-east of London, 20 mi (32 km) north-east of Ipswich and 23 mi (37 km) south of Lowestoft. Locally it is 4 mi (6 km) south of the town of Leiston and 2 mi (3 km) south of the village of Thorpeness. It lies just to the north of the River Alde with the narrow shingle spit of Orford Ness all that stops the river meeting the sea at Aldeburgh - instead it flows another 9 mi (14 km) to the south-west.
The beach is mainly shingle and wide in places with fishing boats able to be drawn up onto the beach above the high tide, but narrows at the neck of Orford Ness. The shingle bank allows access to the Ness from the north, passing a Martello tower and two yacht clubs at the site of the former village of Slaughden. Aldeburgh was flooded during the North Sea flood of 1953 and flood defences around the town were strengthened as a result.
Aldeburgh is linked to the main A12 at Friday Street in Benhall by the A1094 road. The B1122 leads to Leiston. There are bus services to Leiston, southward to Woodbridge and Ipswich, and northward to Halesworth. The Aldeburgh Moot Hall is a Grade I listed timber-framed building which has been used for council meetings for over 400 years.
A unique quatrefoil Martello Tower stands at the isthmus leading to the Orford Ness shingle spit. It is the largest and northernmost of 103 English defensive towers built between 1808 and 1812 to resist a Napoleonic invasion. The Martello Tower is the only surviving building of the fishing village of Slaughden, which had been washed away by the North Sea by 1936. Near the Martello Tower at Slaughden Quay are the barely visible remains of the fishing smack Ionia. It had become stuck in the treacherous mud of the River Alde, and was then used as a houseboat. In 1974 it was burnt, as it had become too unsafe.
On Aldeburgh's beach, a short distance north of the town centre, stands a sculpture, The Scallop, dedicated to Benjamin Britten, who used to walk along the beach in the afternoons. Created from stainless steel by Suffolk-based artist Maggi Hambling, it stands 15 feet (4.6 metres) high, and was unveiled in November 2003.
( Aldeburgh - UK ) is well know as a tourist destination because of the variety of places you can enjoy while you are visiting the city of Aldeburgh . Through a series of videos we will try to show you recommended places to visit in Aldeburgh - UK

Places To Visit In Suffolk
Discover Beccles on The Suffolk Coast
A charming market town as peaceful as it is popular, Beccles town is made up of small market squares and winding streets nestled by the River Waveney. Around every corner you’ll find quirky, independent shops, restaurants and cafes. Look out for a host of community events, festivals and entertainment held throughout the year.
The town has a rich and varied history and has been home to many people of note through the years. Mary Grimstone, a novelist and poet was born in Beccles in 1796 and travelled as far afield and Hamburg and Australia in her lifetime. She was a prolific campaigner for women’s rights and her writing was compared to Jane Austen.
Another famous figure hailing from Beccles is Sir John Leman, a tradesman born in 1544 who became Mayor of London in 1616. He never forgot his birthplace and provided in his will a free school for the education of children from Beccles and the surrounding area.
Wander through the town and you cannot miss the imposing detached sixteenth century bell tower of St Michael's church. The 97 feet tall tower is perpendicular gothic in style and dominates the skyline. Inside there is a 13th Century font and the tower contains a peel of 10 bells which are rung each week.
Just outside of Beccles, Roos Hall is renowned for being one of Suffolk’s most haunted houses and legend says that at Christmas a ghostly carriage driven by a headless man careers down the driveway towards the house.

Eurail/Interrail infos:
If you're booking your journey in advance then buy your tickets directly on thetrainline.com for example.
If you buy the pass and use it to make early reservations (as the eurail advises on their website) the overall cost of the pass+reservations will be more than buying tickets directly, plus, you will be treated as a suspect second class citizen with your reservation marked as Must Show Pass. Another cons to Eurail/Interrail pass when making a reservation is that you have no way to choose your seat. I was always attributed the worst seats when I used it : usually in the 4-block seats facing strangers (often families with children).
If you try to use the pass few days earlier to your journey on high speed trains in Europe, well it says No Seats Available for pass holders. So in all cases the pass isn't worth it neither when booking early nor lately.
My advice is to book the tickets for all your journeys in advance while having a complete control on your attributed seats and saving money.

Leiston Abbey, Suffolk - Filmed in September 2017
Places to see in ( Thorpeness - UK )
Places to see in ( Thorpeness - UK )
Thorpeness is a village in the county of Suffolk, England. It is part of the parish of Aldringham cum Thorpe and is within the Suffolk Coast and Heaths AONB. The village was originally a small fishing hamlet in the late 19th century, with folklore stories of it being a route for smugglers into East Anglia. However in 1910, Glencairn Stuart Ogilvie, a Scottish barrister who had made his money designing railways around the world, bought the entire area from north of Aldeburgh to past Sizewell, up the coast and inland to Aldringham and Leiston.
Most of this land was used for farming but Ogilvie developed Thorpeness into a private fantasy holiday village, to which he invited his friends' and colleagues' families during the summer months. A country club with tennis courts, a swimming pool, a golf course and clubhouse, and many holiday homes, were built in Jacobean and Tudor Revival styles. Thorpeness railway station, provided by the Great Eastern Railway to serve what was expected to be an expanding resort, was opened a few days before the outbreak of World War I. It was little used, except by golfers, and closed in 1966.
A notable feature of the village is a set of almshouses built in the 1920s to the design of W.G. Wilson. To hide the eyesore of having a water tower in the village, the tank was clad in wood to make it look like a small house on top of a 5-storey tower, with a separate water-pumping windmill next to it. It is known as the House in the Clouds, and after mains water was installed in the village the old tank was transformed into a huge games room with views over the land from Aldeburgh to Sizewell.
For three generations Thorpeness remained mostly in the private ownership of the Ogilvie family, with houses only being sold from the estate to friends as holiday homes. In 1972, Alexander Stuart Ogilvie, Glencairn Stuart Ogilvie's grandson, died on the Thorpeness Golf Course and many of the houses and the golf course and country club were sold to pay death duties.
Thorpeness is a quiet village of about 400 people in the winter, swelling to over 1,600 people in the summer holidays, with the highlight being a regatta on the Meare at the end of August and a huge fireworks display. It is also a popular day trippers destination with its beach and Meare, amenities and sights such as the House in the Clouds.
The Ogilvies still have a strong presence in the village and many of the families coming there for their holidays have been doing so for generations. Also many of the families of the craftsmen who helped build the village are still there. Thorpeness was listed as the 'Weirdest Village in England' by 'Bizarre' magazine in 2003.

We are Nikki and Alex, enjoying trips whenever possible in our 2012 Burstner Nexxo T660 motorhome. We also enjoy a bit of gentle river and canal kayaking, exploring on our eBikes and Hillwalking.
Alex does a bit of custom paintwork with the airbrush and dry flake gun, rides a Triumph Street Triple motorcycle and a 1987 Suzuki Intruder as a bit of a project bike, as well as enjoying the occasional exploration of old mine workings. Every now and again we mix in the occasional workshop project.
