Things to do in Aldeburgh, Suffolk
View of the Maltings, Aldburgh © Diana Hitchin
Aldeburgh was made famous in recent times by the refurbishment of the Snape Maltings on the site of a former brewery.
The magnificent concert hall is the setting for music and literary festivals.
Outside are stone statues by Henry Moore and Barbara Hepworth.
The rest of the Maltings has a cafe, shops and exhibition of how the site was once used.
Aldeburgh town itself is further down the road and has the claim to fame of having a super fish and chip shop which visitors frequent from far and wide.
There is a spectacular statue on the beach which depicts an open shell.
It is by Maggie Hamblin which was put there to commemorate Benjamin Britten.
