Overview

Blow away the Christmas morning cobwebs and join us for a circular walk through Aldeburgh and Slaughden. The walk takes us along the coast from the Moot Hall towards Thorpeness, then inland to follow the old railway line towards the allotments where we’ll cross Aldeburgh Marshes and follow the River Alde returning to the town centre.
