Halesworth is a market town in north east Suffolk, in a lovely area good to live in or to visit at any time of year. Steeped in the history of brewing, malting and agriculture, Halesworth in modern times is a wonderful mix of old buildings and new, where local people have the advantages of the new millennium while secure in the roots of the past.

Central to the town is Thoroughfare, once the busy sole route through the town but now pedestrianised so it is a pleasure to stroll along, look in a shop or two and then from the bridge watch the antics of the ducks on the Town River. Thoroughfare leads to the Market Place where more lovely old buildings stand. St.Mary’s Church and the old almshouses lie beyond.

At the other end of Thoroughfare is the splendid library and it is then just a few minutes walk to The Cut Arts Centre and to the Railway Station with its notable moveable platform. The station buildings are now home to the Museum.

East Anglia is renowned for its big open skies and mild and dry climate. This makes a stay here very pleasant. For a holiday or short break our advertisers offer accommodation on a self-catering , hotel or bed and breakfast basis where you will be most welcome.
