The weather is forecast to be up to 27C this weekend, so why not head out to the beach?
It was a wet and miserable start to the week, but this appears to have made way for a scorching bank holiday weekend. The weather forecast says that parts of Cambridgeshire will be 25C to 27C between Saturday (May 23) and Monday (May 25).
With such nice weather, a beach trip may be on your mind. One place people in Cambridgeshire may want to venture to, is Aldeburgh Beach in Suffolk.
Only an hour and 48-minute drive from Cambridge, the beach has been called a “favourite day out to the seaside” by The Suffolk Coast. The beach is mainly shingle and pebbles, but it is backed by a pretty promenade and charming pastel-coloured houses.
The beach is popular for its food on offer, especially its fish and chips. Aldeburgh Fish and Chips is regarded as one of the best fish and chip shops in Britain. It has been providing seaside goers with their fish and chip fix since 1967.
Other great food on offer in Aldeburgh includes a handy kiosk at Moot Hall, which sells drinks, snacks and of course ice creams. Nearby to Aldeburgh Fish and Chip shop there is also a range of delis and cafes to try.
Over the years, Aldeburgh has become a favourite place for many. It was once the favourite beach of composer Benjamin Britten, who lived in the town for some time.
It’s said that he enjoyed walking along the beach from Aldeburgh to Thorpeness most days. Today, there is a tribute to him on the beach in the form of a scallop sculpture, created by artist Maggi Hambling.
The beach is dog friendly, however dogs are not allowed on it between May and September.
