Welcome To the Aldeburgh website - the only community website devoted to promoting the town and its many attractions. Aldeburgh is a small seaside town on the unspoilt East Suffolk coast. In the 16th Century it was a thriving port and shipbuilding area, becoming a fishing village and seaside resort in the 19tr Century. Aldeburgh provides an excellent base for those wanting a peaceful seaside holiday during which they can enjoy the miles of unspoilt shingle coastline and heath lands of this remarkable area.
There are many excellent restaurants and pubs to suit all tastes and budgets - not forgetting the 'famous' Aldeburgh fish and chip shop, a wide selection of cottages to rent, hotels to stay at, bed and breakfast accommodation to suit all requirements. Notable town landmarks include the Moot Hall which, for the past 400 years the meeting place of Aldeburgh Town Council, the church of St Peter and St Paul, noted for its memorial window dedicated to the memory of Benjamin Britten and designed by John Piper. Britten, Peter Pears and Imogen HoIst are all buried in Aldeburgh Churchyard, as is Elizabeth Garrett Anderson, England's first female doctor. There is also a memorial to the crew of the Aldeburgh lifeboat, who perished in 1899.
