Closest pub to The Hive. Lovely traditional pub steeped in history, doesn’t have a bar, but a tap room. Great beer garden, friendly locals. As you ente the 16th Century pub, you are greeted by a wooden paneled communal seating area where you can rub shoulders with the locals.....

It’s a cultural center so check what’s on. Also, leave the center and walk right over the bridge and then right again and follow the path all the way to Aldeburgh. Beautiful 3 hour walk - get bus or taxi back to Snape Maltings.
