Her incredible intellect, voracious curiosity, outstanding ability for drawing together disparate strands, and unceasing drive to learn more and know more have been an inspiring example over the past four years. This thesis owes much of its existence to her and her comments, recommendations, edits, and support.

Shelley Lee has been an invaluable resource and advisor in the daunting process of putting together a fifty-some page research paper, while my fellow History honors candidates have been supportive, helpful in their advice, and great to commiserate with. Thank you to Steven Plank and everyone else who has listened to me discuss Britten and the Aldeburgh Festival and kindly offered suggestions.

  • Little Japan and Barber’S Point Through the Trees
    Heritage, Heath & Hedgerow Historic nature walks with Aldeburgh Museum The Sailor’s Path is a well-worn route, initially used by seafarers, smugglers and fisherman. The full 6 mile route runs from Aldeburgh to Snape and offers a fascinating view of the picturesque River Alde. This walk, at 2.5 miles, offers an introduction to the route. This walk starts in the car park at the Aldeburgh end of the Sailor’s path. The route is well signposted. The patch of land behind the signpost, was used by the Royal Flying Corps in World War 1. They created a small single track railway to transport goods from their airbase at Hazlewood Hall across this patch of land to the Brick Dock jetty on the river. Notice the creeping buttercup along the edge of the path. Arriving at the open field to the left is a good viewpoint to see Yarn Hill which is other side of the river. It is said that St Botolph (Anglo-Saxon Saint of Travellers) wanted to build Iken church here but found it full of eerie and ghostly happenings and changed the church location to where it is today. Splendid yellow gorse in full flower is evident along the path and throughout the Suffolk coast. Less commonly named Furze or Whin, it has an almond/coconut like scent and is very prickly! It is an important nectar source for bees in Spring when few flowers have bloomed. The sad, dead trees to the left of the path before Marsh Cottage are evidence of the breach in the river wall and consequently the flooding of the Hazlewood marshes in 2013.

This reflects the strategy of the Plan which looks to create two new Garden Neighbourhoods to the north of Felixstowe and the south of Saxmundham, respond to opportunities presented by transport connections, and sustain and enhance the vitality of the rural parts of the District. 12.2 The areas are considered below in Settlement Hierarchy order, following the section on Neighbourhood Plans, as follows: Neighbourhood Plans Approach to Site Allocations Strategy for Felixstowe Strategy for Communities to the East of Ipswich Strategy for Aldeburgh Strategy for Leiston Strategy for Framlingham Strategy for Saxmundham Strategy for Woodbridge Strategy for the Rural Areas Neighbourhood Plans 12.3 Neighbourhood Plans were introduced through the Localism Act 2011 and enable communities to produce their own policies and to allocate sites for development. It is for Town and Parish Councils to decide whether they wish to produce a Neighbourhood Plan and where they do the District Council has a supporting role in the production of the Plan. Across the District, a number of communities have sought to develop their own plan, with a total of 18 Neighbourhood Plan areas designated (see Table 12.1 and map below).
