You will have access to all this land. There is a small beach down by the river from which you can fish and swim when the tide is right. Well behaved dogs are very welcome. The cottage has glorious views over the river Alde with complete access down to the river front. We have a couple of kayaks you can borrow (at your own risk) to explore the river and marshes. Beaver Cottage is in a prime area on the heritage coast. From the garden you can walk along the river wall into Aldeburgh, past the beautiful mud flats where birds rootle in the mud. Or you can walk through the North Warren bird reserve to Thorpeness and back along the beach, or along the old Sailor’s Path by the river to Snape. The shared eleven acre garden is full of wildlife including woodpeckers, a Barn owl called Strix, river and garden birds, muntjack deer, many rabbits and foxes and if you are lucky you might see a seal in the river or possibly an otter. Beaver Cottage is five miles from Snape which is the home of Snape Maltings. The Maltings has music throughout the year including the Proms in August and the Festival in June featuring many famous names. If you are keen to learn to sail then Aldeburgh Yacht Club offers tuition on the River Alde or you can watch the many races on weekends throughout the Summer. Just a fifteen minute drive from the RSPB bird reserve Minsmere, and in the heart of the Suffolk Heritage Coast, Beaver Cottage is a wonderful place from which to experience it all whatever the weather.
