Charm From A Bygone Age In Suffolk by Rahul Rungta

Overlooking the shingle beach and just a few minutes from the beautiful high street, the White Lion Hotel in Aldeburgh is a wonderful hotel in Suffolk.

Within easy reach of London, the South-East and the Midlands, Aldeburgh is a quiet but popular seaside resort. It has managed to escape brash commercialism in favour of retaining the charm and genteel atmosphere of a bygone age. With its relaxed pace and calming atmosphere you’ll soon forget all about life in the city.

A flourishing town, which developed after the prosperous medieval fishing and ship-building centre of Slaughden was destroyed by the sea, it is today best known for the brightly coloured fishing boats which line the shingle beach and the world-renowned Aldeburgh Festival, based at nearby Snape Maltings.

Situated in an area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Aldeburgh makes an ideal location from which to explore the area. There are many walks, both coast and country, and a number of nature reserves, including Havergate Island and RSPB Minsmere. There is also excellent sailing on the River Alde and golfers are spoilt for choice with some excellent Suffolk golf courses at Thorpeness and Aldeburgh.

The White Lion Hotel is a traditional, privately owned hotel offering high standards of hospitality, service and value for money. It is the perfect base for exploring the beauty of this part of the Suffolk coast.

Walking in Suffolk:

All the special qualities of the countryside of coastal Suffolk can be experienced by walking between the town of Aldeburgh and the neighbouring village of Thorpeness, although the Heritage Coast extends from Kessingland to Felixstowe.

The largely man-made landscape is protected from the sea by the natural embankment of shingle, which in the course of a year can alter dramatically through the influence of high tides and winter storms. Despite this natural cycle of change the countryside has retained much of its wealth of flora and fauna. This is due mainly to the continuation or recent re-introduction of livestock grazing and reed cutting.

There are numerous walks in the area which will enable you to explore woodland, heathland, marsh, fen and seashore. Each of these areas supports different plants and animals and each season brings a change in the variety of animals seen, providing an incentive to visit the area throughout the year.

Suffolk Bird-watching and wildlife:

North Warren Reserve in Thorpeness, the RSPB flagship reserve Minsmere and the river banks at nearby Orford and Snape are home to some of the rarest and most unusual birds in the UK – the Avocet, Nightjar, March Harrier and Bittern. These reserves offer the perfect opportunity to watch the birds in their natural habitat and the shingle beaches of the Suffolk coast whilst the ancient heathlands surrounding Aldeburgh and Thorpeness are home to a wide variety of other flora and fauna.

So if you need to escape from the hectic pace of everyday life then the White Lion Hotel in Aldeburgh, Suffolk is the perfect retreat for a relaxing break.

Kris Smith has been living and writing about Suffolk for several years, and especially the White Lion hotel. For more details go to www.whitelion.co.uk or telephone 01728 452720

Holidays - Amsterdam, an Introduction by Liam

With more canals than Venice, Amsterdam is considered one of Northern Europe's most exquisite yet controversial capitals. From the grand 17th century architecture that shimmers amongst the image defining canals to the bawdy scenes of the Red Light District, Amsterdam is a true Dutch delight.

Legend has it that the capital was founded by two fishermen that touched ashore with their dog sometime during the early 13th Century. Today the city radiates out from the Central or "Centraal" Station, which serves roughly 150,000 passengers a day.

The central station is likely to be the port of entry for any visit to Amsterdam, and just a stones throw away from the station is Amsterdam's historical centre - Dam Square. The Square is probably the best place to find your bearings and begin exploring the city centre.

Off the square, many make their way down one of the cities main streets such as Damrak or Rokin, where you will find a flurry of interesting establishments from inviting souvenir boutiques to high class designer outlets. If you would rather take the city in at your own pace though then you could take a stroll down one of the countless cobbled streets passing over the capitals landmark ancient bridges.

Going South East off the Square you will find yourself drawn in by the unique scene of De Wallen, more commonly known as the Red Light District. This area pulls visitors in from all over the world to experience its relaxed view on soft drugs and raunchy shop windows. The area however, is also Amsterdam's oldest district, home to the Oude Kerk, the 'Dams oldest parish church, which was erected in 1306.

If you are interested in the arts, the 'Dam has a lot to offer with some of Europe's finest galleries and museums, like The Van Gogh Museum, Rembrandt's House and the National Maritime Museum. August is a particularly exciting month to visit as this is when Uitmarkt is held, which marks the beginning of Holland's cultural season. Stages are set up throughout the city with a tremendous amount of free performances from jazz sessions to theatrical dance.

On the other hand, if you can brave the cold temperatures of winter, you could partake in the majestic ice skating that takes place throughout the city's frozen canals.

Whenever you choose to visit Amsterdam you are sure to leave enchanted and craving your next visit. Cheap holidays to the 'Dam are easily organised online, with many last minute holidays proving particularly cheap. It's recommended to use a holidays comparison site to source your trip.
