The quiet town of Aldeburgh, Great Britain, lies on the edge of the cold and gray North Sea. Home to the Aldeburgh Festival of Arts and a spectacular statue on the beach, the town has no shortage of picturesque and charming buildings. The composer Benjamin Britten lived in this quaint town for part of this life and once you get there you’ll immediately understand why. It’s the natural beauty of the place that will take your breath away. Stunning shingle beaches and gorgeous heath trails are just the beginning of the natural beauty this area has to offer. If the great outdoor is not quite up your alley, there’s also old stuff for you to climb around and explore. For instance, the nearby Orford Castle offers amazing views and a great tower to climb. Also, the Aldeburgh Moot Hall is a timber-framed building that’s more than 400 years old. Of course, in order to enjoy any of the great things to do in and around Aldeburgh, you’ll need a place to stay. Here are a few ideas and suggestions.

Adorable Aldeburgh
So now all you have to do is to make a decision as to which Airbnb rental you would like to reside in. Do you want to stay closer to the beach, or right in the middle of town? Lucky for you, the beach is not all that far from the restaurants and pubs of town, so you really can’t go wrong with either.
