Shingle Street

I first heard of this place while chatting with an Airbnb host in Aldeburgh, Suffolk, a few years ago. I liked this place so much that every summer since then I try to go a few times, its a couple of hours drive from Cambridge, perfect for a day trip. There is something about the dunes and pools of water from the sea that I quite like. A pub not too far from there is the perfect spot for a summer lunch. It also reminds me to Orford Ness, not far away from here, in its barren and unspoilt looks, although here there aren’t any old military installations (but a apparently a sordid past too). I can’t wait to go again, next summer, maybe I will even dare to have a swim. Who knows?
