Rendlesham Forest, near Woodbridge, is the home to one of the most infamous UFO sightings of recent years. In December 1980, military staff based at nearby RAF Woodbridge Airbase saw what appeared to be an alien spaceship land within the forest.

Every village has a pub with character, many providing excellent food in convivial surroundings. The hotels have great restaurants and there are a number of top class restaurants and cafes serving local produce, organic meat and really fresh fish. Local smokehouses provide smoked fish and chicken amongst other meats and local vineyards provide wine tasting events and tours. Families are catered for too with many cafes and restaurants that are happy to provide child sized portions. Many of the premises have wonderful views over rivers and reed beds, which contribute to the feeling of relaxation and contentment. The Aldeburgh Food and Drink festival in October highlights the variety and quality of locally produced food. UKTV Food has seen several of the farm shops and restaurants in the area nominated as Local Food Heroes in 2007, for their contribution towards local food provision and the reduction of food miles. New for 2008, many of the guest accommodation premises featured in this guide have signed up to the “Suffolk Breakfast Initiative” to show their commitment to sourcing their breakfast ingredients locally. 6 CHOOSE The most obvious attraction of Suffolk Coastal is the unspoilt coast and countryside. SUFFOLK Here, you’ll find almost limitless opportunities for walking, cycling and horseriding, along with award-winning beaches. COAST2008 The resort of Felixstowe is a haven for small children and the elderly with a wide, flat, 2 mile long promenade. Further up the coast the more intimate towns and villages of Aldeburgh, Dunwich, Orford and Walberswick offer a different variation on the seaside experience, from wild shingle beaches to glorious sandy dunes. The countryside is enchanting, ranging from a patchwork of gently rolling arable fields and small woodlands to the Suffolk Coast and Heaths Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. This is a very special landscape, a fragile mosaic of heaths, forest, wetlands and coast that collectively support some of the rarest wildlife in Britain. Here, there are many nature reserves to explore, way- marked trails and three long-distance paths (leaflets available from Tourist Information Centres). The area is particularly rich in birdlife. There are four river estuaries that teem with wildfowl and wading birds from Autumn through to Spring. Coastal marshes play host to unusual birds such as the bittern, marsh harrier and avocet, while the Sandlings Heaths are home to rare species such as the nightjar.

  • Benefice Profile 2019
    The Benefice of Walton and Trimley Benefice Profile 2019 Welcome and Introduction Welcome to the Benefice of Walton and Trimley and our profile. The Benefice is situated near the end of a peninsula bordered by the river Deben to the north, the river Orwell to the south and the North Sea to the east. Walton originally spanned a large area adjacent to a small fishing hamlet known as Felixstowe, with the Trimleys being slightly further inland. Today Walton and Trimley are considered to be on the outskirts of the town of Felixstowe. The Benefice was formed in 2014 from the parishes of St Mary’s Walton and St Martin’s and St Mary’s Trimley. Each church is happy and active but with its own identity. Both churches are central parts of the community around them and have church families with a heart and a desire for bringing Jesus to the people of their parish and sharing His love for them. The two parishes work closely together, they have equal and separate PCCs but do come together as a Benefice PCC three times a year. Each PCC contributes towards the Parish Share so that as a Benefice this is paid in full. The Benefice churches belong to and support Churches Together in Felixstowe which links the Christian witness in the town and provides joint ventures in which many members of the church families participate. These includes events during Unity Week, a procession of witness from St Mary’s church to the town centre on Good Friday where a united service is held and a ‘Son Rise’ service on Easter Sunday morning at the beach.

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.

  • Benjamin Britten in the Music Culture of the Soviet Union in the 1960S (To the 100Th Anniversary of the Composer's Birth)
    International Journal of Humanities and Social Science Vol. 3 No. 14 [Special Issue - July 2013] Benjamin Britten in the Music Culture of the Soviet Union in the 1960s (to the 100th Anniversary of the Composer's Birth) Alexander Rossinsky Department of Art Altai State University Russia Ekaterina Vorontsova Department of History Altai State University Russia Abstract The period of the 1960-s was difficult and controversial. Former allies of the anti-Hitler coalition turned to be on different sides of the acute ideological struggle which nearly led to the world war. Tremendous work was carried by artists, musicians who united disparate peoples into the community calling for the universal values. The central place in such the sphere of music belongs to one of the greatest composers of the 20th century, Benjamin Britten. Together with the Soviet musicians he pushed the world back from the sharp ideological confrontation. Keywords: B.Brittten, P.Pears, USSR, M.Rostropovich, G.Vishnevskaya, D.Shostakovich, symphonic and chamber music. The events unfolding in the world, which had survived the most destructive war in the history of human civilization, were dramatic and characterised by multi-vector directions of their development. The countries that joined the anti-Hitler coalition in the 40s, in the 60s were experiencing the peak of their ideological hostility, teetering on the verge of unleashing the third world war. At the same time, the Soviet Union, headed the unpredictable and highly controversial leader Nikita Khrushchev, pursued a policy of flirtations with liberalism in an attempt to overcome the cult of personality of Joseph Stalin and remove the notorious “Iron Curtain”, which for decades had protected the USSR from Western influence.
