Art in Aldeburgh

Aldeburgh is the cultural heart of the Suffolk coast. Home to the festival founded by Benjamin Britten and to Snape Maltings just inland, the town has drawn artists for generations to its shingle beach, its fishermen's huts and the extraordinary North Sea light that Maggi Hambling's Scallop sculpture now sits within. It remains one of the most painted stretches of coastline in England.
