Took a day trip to see the Honda collection and it was not a disappointment. There is a marvellous array of classic Hondas on display, free coffee and friendly staff, and all for a tenner. Highly recommended.

On holiday and saw this in the local town so decided to pay it a visit - what a little gem. Amazing little place with one screen, showing recent films. It was very comfortable, great popcorn, friendly and helpful staff and the picture and sound quality were great. It was a shame more people were not using the facility, I would love to have something like this where we live. Would definitely recommend to anyone interested in going.
3. Long Shop Museum
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 117 reviews
Situated near Aldeburgh, in the beautiful coastal region of Suffolk, The Long Shop Museum tells the story of more than 200 years of the town's life and work. In the museum you will find a staggering collection of objects, ranging from full-size steam engines (the Richard Garrett & Sons engineering business made many hundreds of steam engines here) to touching mementos of the lives of the working people of the town.

In spite of the restrictions due to covid we spent 2 hours at this most interesting museum. The exhibition showed how over years the firm adjusted to changing needs and technologies ,from farm machinery to tram and coach construction and eventually to building the Mustang . We were very impressed by the buildings and especially the 485 ft well and the detailed geological section of the layers encountered in it's construction. However the lasting impression was about the family ,and by that I mean the whole community of Leiston .Do look at the photo of the women's foot ball team ,the history of the apprentices and the daughter Elizabeth Garrett-Anderson who changed medical history. Because of covid there isn't much for children to do.....but it wouldn't be beyond the scope of an intereset adult to make the whole experience come alive.

The ruins of a 12th-century abbey built by the Premonstratensian Order of Canons.

I was staying nearby with a distant view of the Abbey ruins, so I decided to have a look. I just intended to have a quick look around but spent ages there taking lots of photos. This place is magical, information boards are around the ruins with interesting stories. I loved it and think it is a must visit for anyone with an interest in history. Oh, and it's free.
