Places to stay in Halesworth
Halesworth is a small market town (population of around 6,000) in the northeastern corner of Suffolk, England. It is located 15 miles (24 km) south west of Lowestoft, and stands on a small tributary of the River Blyth, 9 miles (14 km) upstream from Southwold. The town is served by Halesworth railway station on the Ipswich-Lowestoft East Suffolk Line. Halesworth is twinned with both Bouchain in France and Eitorf in Germany. Steeped in the history of brewing, malting and agriculture, Halesworth in modern times is a wonderful mix of old buildings and new, where local people have the advantages of the new millennium while secure in the roots of the past. Halesworth has a relaxed pace of life as befits a Suffolk market town established for over a thousand years, but beneath this calm exterior there is plenty of activity. Indoor events are held at The Rifle Hall and the Methodist Church Hall (both in London Road) or in St.Mary’s Church Hall, (tucked away at the end of Steeple End, near the Church). In general large outdoor events such as fetes are held in the Town Park or in the Town itself, where the Thoroughfare naturally lends itself to processions and to street fair events such as Thoroughfair.
