Things to do
Aldeburgh is the seaside resort of choice for artists, musicians and families yearning for those special holiday breaks of yesteryear. The inspiration for much of Benjamin Britten\'s music and centre for his creation - The Aldeburgh Festival - the little townnow plays host to a year round programme of concerts, film, theatre, poetry and art. In the heart of an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Aldeburgh is an ideal location for bird watchers, walkers and of course sailors. The estuary, marshes and shingle banks are home to a wide variety of wildlife and there are sailing and yacht clubs at nearby Slaughden as well as the famous Aldeburgh and Thorpeness heathland golf courses just a few minutes from Aldeburgh.
Eating and drinking
Grocery deliveries are available and there is a great selection of catering options for your stay at Pebble Cottage. Just seconds from Aldeburgh high street;you’ll find all the holiday food you need to stock up on – butchers, bakers, greengrocers and general stores. And of course there is no shortage of fish sheds dotted along the beach, selling freshly-caught seafood throughout the day. Straight from the sea and onto the BBQ back at Pebble Cottage – what could be better? Tip: If you can drag yourself out of excellent beds then it is worth popping across the road to buy your fish early in the morning, just as the fishing boats get in.
If farm shops are your thing then there is an excellent one down the A1094 the Friday Street Farm Shop. Full-to-bursting with a large range of excellent home-grown and locally-made produce, it’s the perfect place to stock up holiday food...and perhaps a few foodie souvenirs to take back home with you. click here for website
The pretty little town of Orford is situated right on the river Ore, a continuation of the Alde river which passes around the back of Aldeburgh and well worth a visit whilst exploring Suffolk’s Heritage Coast. Pinney\'s of Orford have grown oysters at Butley Creek since the 1950s and their smoke house supplies mouth-watering freshly smoked fish every day. Click here for website. Or why not take a trip to Richardson’s Smoke House in Orford and stock up on melt-in-the-mouth ham hock and smoked cheese? Click here for website.
Eating out

Cross Keys Pub, Aldeburgh 01728 452 637
Dating back to 1540 the pub has great character. A large courtyard garden facing onto the seafront, makes this a perfect place to enjoy a pint of Adnams! The Cross Keys serve an extensive selection of fresh seafood, which is caught daily by the Aldeburgh fishermen.
The Mill Inn, Aldeburgh 01728-452563
The Mill Inn is another pub that stands directly opposite the beachfront. With plenty of old world charm, its beams and leaded windows take you back to the days when this was once the haunt of local smugglers. Meals are cooked using fresh, local ingredients, hand-selected by the Mill’s Chef. The seafood dish of the day is dependent on the catch of the Aldeburgh’s fisherman. What’s more, if you fancy a hearty cooked breakfast The Mill Inn in the place to go.
White Lion, Aldeburgh 01728 452720
The White Lion Hotel enjoys fantastic views of the sea, and is a great place to enjoy a good meal. The menus are fresh and inspiring, using produce sourced close to Aldeburgh. Fish and seafood are both specialities, as well as traditional favourites such as braised oxtail or devilled lambs kidneys.
The Brudenell , Aldeburgh 01728 452071
With its relaxed, informal dining room and patio heaters which allow you to eat al fresco after the sun has set, The Brudenell Hotel is a great place for a special holiday meal. Suffolk has the reputation of being the country’s richest producer of healthy, locally-grown organic food and the head chef plays homage to this with his firm ethos of using sustainably and ethically sourced local produce. Review of The Brudenell Restaurant.
But of course no trip to Suffolk could be complete without trying the world-class Aldeburgh fish and chips – forget the calories, you are on holiday after all! There are two great fish and chip shops in Aldeburgh high street...you may have to queue but it’ll be well worth the wait.
