About
Martello Tower sits on the beach between the River Alde and the sea. The coastal town of Aldeburgh is a 10-minute walk away along a shingle beach. Look out for the fishermen's huts, where you can buy freshly caught fish, and the iconic Scallop sculpture, a tribute to the composer Benjamin Britten, who spent much of his life in this area. Britten lived in The Red House in the town, now the Britten-Pears Foundation. Aldeburgh Music, an annual festival and year-round program of music and other arts, originates in a festival co-founded by Britten in 1948. Walk in the steps of the composer by following the Britten trail around the Aldeburgh area. Follow the Sailors' Path from Aldeburgh to discover the popular Snape Maltings, with its restaurants, shops and galleries. Don't miss one of the greatest archaeological discoveries of all time at Sutton Hoo, the Anglo-Saxon royal burial site. Framlingham Castle, a magnificent 12th century fortress and one time refuge of Mary Tudor, is about half hour from Aldeburgh by car and will make another great day out during your stay.
