About the audio tour
Enjoy an easy walk along the coast starting down on Orford Ness, then up as far as the Moot Hall. Find out about the different ways that the people along this coast have made their living from the sea. On the way, we will hear about Elephants having a paddle, see a dangerous windmill, hear about a private literary festival, meet the Uptowners & Downtowners, hear about the dangers that lurk on this tiny bit of the East Coast and meet a dog that was so loved that they made him twice... What more could you want in a short walk?
Major Landmarks
Aldeburgh Beach, Martello Tower, The Alde Estuary, Look Out Towers on the beach, Moot hall

Best time of day:
You will find different people who like walking this route at different times of day. Some like to see the sun rising over the sea, while others like to see the sun setting over water.
