The light over the coast is always so beautiful, and the rhythm of the waves on a calm day is so relaxing. The Suffolk coast is a wonderful place to connect with nature and unwind.

The Freddie Cooper at RNLI Aldeburgh. Our local lifeboat and crew are real life heroes, keeping us safe at sea. Crew training is always a good watch when in Aldeburgh.

Bookings are coming in fast for the summer and we are now fully booked during the Aldeburgh Festival.

With concerts, art, and all sorts of culture every day it's no surprise the Aldeburgh Festival attracts so many visitors.

The good news is the Britten Pears Arts has a programme of music and events for all tastes throughout the year and is just ten minutes drive away.

Southwold makes a great place for a walk, whatever the weather. A lovely loop round over the common, along the harbour and back into town and then lunch in one of the many pubs or cafes makes for a lovely visit.

Pale winter sunlight today looking across Minsmere towards the coastguard cottages at Dunwich. Lovely day for a walk by the sea.

The Leiston Works Railway. The local area of the Suffolk Coast is tied up with industrial history, with the Garrett Newson family being major movers and shakers as industrial pioneers with sites in Leiston and Snape Maltings, and ultimately as women's rights pioneers.
Elizabeth Garrett Anderson was the first woman doctor and first woman mayor of Aldeburgh. Her sister and daughter were also prominent suffragists who fought for equality and the right to vote.
