A cold breeze from the North Sea pushes across the shingle as you tap play and begin walking—Aldeburgh’s low skyline unfolding ahead: the Moot Hall’s timbered face, the lifeboat house, and fishing boats bobbing near the yacht club. This self-guided audio tour threads a compact coastal loop from the fringe of Orford Ness up to the museum, punctuating the stroll with local stories, oddities and mapped stops along Crag Path and Oakley Square.

Aldeburgh’s story is salt-stained: a medieval port, later a 19th-century resort, and the home of composer Benjamin Britten and an enduring literary and musical culture. Geologically the coast is a shingle beach backed by low cliffs and man-made sea defenses; Orford Ness to the south is a shingle spit shaped by wind and tide and once used for military research. You’ll hear about the town’s boatsmen, the quirky Brudenell hotel, and the Moot Hall’s civic past as you pass the lifeboat station and small maritime landmarks.
Practically, the route is short (about 45–60 minutes on the app), flat and suitable for most walkers. The audio provides offline maps and geodata so you can roam without signal; it’s ideal for a paced morning or a late-afternoon tide-watch. Carry waterproof layers, a charged phone and sensible footwear for uneven shingle and paved promenade. Expect seabirds, occasional seals offshore, and a human scale of galleries, cafés, and historical details best absorbed slowly—listen, look, and let the town tell you its own coastline lore.
