An east Suffolk seaside town has been named among the most peaceful for a day trip in the UK. 

Which? has surveyed the best places for a crowd-free day trip this summer - including secluded beaches, quiet towns and hidden gem attractions. 

Aldeburgh was featured as one of the least crowded seaside towns, alongside Bamburgh in Northumberland. 

It comes after the area near Rendlesham Forest, elsewhere in east Suffolk, was named as one of the most peaceful places to live.

In a previous survey ranking the UK's best seaside towns, Aldeburgh scored five out of five stars for peace and quiet.

Speaking about the town, Which? said: "It is not your run-of-the-mill seaside town.

"Fishermen still sell their latest catch from huts along the shingle beach while the Victorian houses lining the promenade are resplendent in bright pastels."

It is not the first time Aldeburgh has been named one of the most peaceful places as gifting business Wellbox recommended the town as a staycation destination. 

Aldeburgh has also been highly rated for its food and drink offering, as well as its connection to the arts.
