Boat rental for a short trip on "The Meare"

St. Peter and St. Paul Church, Aldeburgh Beautiful old windows and a ship model

A bit windy blow

Two fab-looking old buildings on the seafront of Aldeburgh, I only walked by and did not stop. Love seeing these types of structure, not one part of them look straight, a DIY'ers nightmare.

Now unique holiday accommodation, The House in the Clouds started life as a water tower in 1923 with water pumped from the nearby mill, but in 1977, was sold to private owners and renovated into this intriguing building.

Installed in 2003, the Scallop is a beautiful piece of art that reflects the coastal light wonderfully. It was sculpted by local artist Maggi Hambling in memory of the composer Benjamin Britten. He took daily walks along the sea during the many years he lived in Aldeburgh. The Scallop has faced a fair amount of local opposition due to its prominent position on the otherwise undisturbed bay.

Aldeburgh beach is more than just the seaside. Aside from the long sand and shingle bay, there is plenty more. A Norman Church and a windmill plus a Martello Tower. You can even buy freshly caught fish from the fishermen's huts.

The House in the Clouds is an old water tower built in 1923. It originally pumped water from the nearby mill and was later used for water storage only. In 1977, it was sold to private ownership and the renovation and change of use commenced. Today, this extraordinary building serves as a rather unique holiday home.
