The pretty village of Friston is arranged around a large central green. It features an interesting church and the recently restored post mill (not open to the public).  There are a number of scenic footpaths around the village as well as further afield, making it the ideal location for exploring the forests and heaths of this unspoilt coastline. Just four miles away is the picturesque coastal town of Aldeburgh which offers a lovely beach and an eclectic range of boutiques and restaurants. The seaside village of Thorpeness with its pretty boating lake is also nearby. Situated just three miles from Friston is Snape Maltings, which is renowned for its good food and speciality shops.  It is the perfect place to enjoy a scenic walk along the reed beds and tidal estuary and is also home to a highly acclaimed concert hall.
