Aldeburgh Day 4

Our last day of our Suffolk break. It's been a very pleasant trip and we've seen some interesting places.  After morning coffee in Aldeburgh we drove to Snape Maltings, a Victorian collection of buildings which used to be a brewery and has now transformed into a music, art and shopping complex. The magnificent concert hall is used during the Aldeburgh festival and the August proms.  We had lunch in one of the cafes and then took a short country walk.

From there we went to Orford, a small place with a busy harbour on the River Alde home to a medieval castle build for Henry II.  

This evening after tea we took a walk to the local pub, The Mill, for a drink and chat.

The main picture is a sailing boat in Orford harbour, the extra is a cinnabar moth caterpillar we spotted on the walk from Snape Maltings.
