The sand and shingle of South Beach backs on to the pretty seaside town of Aldeburgh.

Along the beach front are a number of quirky historic buildings, including the 400 year old Moot Hall, a Martello tower and a converted windmill.

Composer Benjamin Britten is strongly linked with the town and there is a monument to him on the beach - the Scallop.

You can follow the back lanes along the other side of the wall from this huge expanse of shingle beach.
