Places to stay in Aldeburgh
Aldeburgh is a small seaside town on the unspoilt East Suffolk coast.
In the 16th Century it was a thriving port and shipbuilding area, becoming
a fishing village and seaside resort in the 19tr Century. Aldeburgh provides
an excellent base for those wanting a peaceful seaside holiday during
which they can enjoy the miles of unspoilt shingle coastline and heath
lands of this remarkable area. There are many excellent restaurants and
pubs to suit all tastes and budgets - not forgetting the 'famous' Aldeburgh
fish and chip shop, a wide selection of cottages to rent, hotels to stay
at, bed and breakfast accommodation to suit all requirements. Notable
town landmarks include the Moot Hall which, for the past 400 years the
meeting place of Aldeburgh Town Council, the church of St Peter and St
Paul, noted for its memorial window dedicated to the memory of Benjamin
Britten and designed by John Piper. Britten, Peter Pears and Imogen HoIst
are all buried in Aldeburgh Churchyard, as is Elizabeth Garrett Anderson,
England's first female doctor. There is also a memorial to the crew of
the Aldeburgh lifeboat, who perished in 1899.
