At the site of Snape Maltings. A large resturant, snug dining rooms and a cosy snug by the fire. 

The Kitchen prides itself on using local produce. A nice destination cafe with good food. 

A farm to fork pub where produce is grown in the garden. In 2015 when the Marshes flooded so did this pub. There are interesting photos inside. 

A lovely hotel on the seafront with modern cuisine

There are two chip shops in Aldeburgh, both are great. Do as Ed Sherran does get chips from the shop and sit on the beach or if it’s a bit chilly, eat upstairs at the Golden Galleon. 

Ideal for pre cinema dinner, followed by an ice cream at the cinema. This is a popular, locally owned restaurant. Booking recommended. 

The Wentworth family once owned these cottages. The hotel is a traditional English hotel. Great afternoon tea. 

The Wentworth estate is in North Yorkshire but they own much of the land between here and Snape.

Sea Spice is a high end Indian Food restaurant at the White Lion. A superb night out, lovely setting and tremendous food. 

Large pub in Thorpness. Sister pub of The Parot In Aldringham.

This is a great place to spend an afternoon relaxing with afternoon tea at an excellent price. Just on the outskirts of Southwold. 

Aldeburgh is one of the oldest continually running cinemas in the UK. It’s run as a charity and although the film selection is not as vast as the multiplexes its like going back in time to the golden age of cinema. 

The Meare is a boating lake like no other. The lake with its islands and surrounds covers some sixty acres and has over forty acres of water. However, nowhere is the lake more than three feet deep and so it provides a very safe boating environment for children of all ages. The islands were named by J.M Barrie,the creator of Peter Pan and each have their own attraction from the Fort to the Dragon's lair the explore.

Perhaps Benjamin Britten was the most famous resident of Aldeburgh and Snape and the foundation now occupies the house Britten and Pears shared. 

Red House is a short walk across the golf course. 

Unfortunately, sometimes the weather doesn't always play ball and you need to find something to do out of the rain. Why not try:

 - Snape Maltings - a mix of shops, exhibitions and restaurants

 - Aldeburgh Cinema - a 100 year old cinema full of character, showing new releases and family favorites. 

 - The Red House - home of Benjamin Brittain 

 - Sizewell B Visitor Centre - ever wondered how nuclear energy is made?

 - Sutton Hoo - the subject of the recent blockbuster The Dig and site of one of the most important Viking burials in the UK.

 - Suffolk Escape Room - nearby at Leiston. Can you escape from a locked room solving clues? lasts about an hour.

 - Potton Hall Spa - when it's wet outside treat yourself to half-day retreat.

If you fancy a walk around the shops, in the hope that it will dry up later, why not visit Woodbridge, Southwold or Beccles.

We cant include everything but The Tourist Trail web site is a useful resourse with lots more information. 

Essential Suffolk publishes a series of walks from Suffolk pubs. All are dog friendly and many local to us.

You can walk across the golf course past Britton’s Red House to Thorpness. 

The following link gives details of good walks around Thorpness. 

Combining a walk with a trip on a foot ferry makes a walk an adventure. We are lucky to have several ferries on the local rivers. Walberswick to Southwold is a facvorite of ours. 

This leaflet helps you plan such an adventure.
