Nestled on the Suffolk Heritage Coast, Orford is such a unique place it often features on TV and in the press. Here are a few of our favourites including Kate Humble’s Coastal Britain on Netflix (Channel5) and Villages by the Sea from the BBC.

Our favourite local tipple is Fishers gin. The distillery is 5 miles up the river in Aldeburgh and we’ve met the team at local events, including at Snape Maltings. They have great distillery tastings and tours and we love the “mash up” with Pinney’s in Orford to create the Fishers Smoked Gin.

Tip: Why not book a distillery tour with dinner in Aldeburgh afterwards?

Orford Riverside Tearoom - watch people messing about in boats on the river with your coffee.

Probably the best bakery and coffee shop in Suffolk
