Aldeburgh

One of the things that you must do in Aldeburgh is to join the queue at the fish & chip shop at the top of the main street, purchase some of the freshest fish & chips you will ever taste. Wander down to the pebble beach and eat them whilst taking in the view of the sea. Especially good when the sun is shining & the wind is warm. It is against the law to feed the gulls here which makes the experience even better, as although they watch you with their beady eyes they do not bother the many people enjoying their lunch or supper.

Right down the other end of the town by the Moot hall, are the fish sheds. We bought Dover Sole straight off the boat so fresh they were still flapping. We also got the best Sea Bass I have ever eaten. Luckily we had some cool bags so were able to stop off on the way home and stock up for the freezer. There are great pubs here and you can walk along the beach for miles.
