Aldeburgh's culinary scene is particularly renowned for its fresh seafood, with the Aldeburgh Fish and Chip Shop claiming to be one of the best in the UK. For those interested in history, the Moot Hall Museum, housed in a remarkable timber-framed building, provides insights into Aldeburgh's past as a Tudor port and its evolution over the centuries. The nearby Aldeburgh Martello Tower, one of several defensive forts built along the British coast during the Napoleonic Wars, is another historical landmark worth visiting.
