Leiston is found a short drive inland from Suffolk’s Heritage Coast between Thorpeness and Aldeburgh, approximately 6 miles from Snape Maltings and approximately 5 miles from rspb Minsmere.
Home to the Long Shop Museum, Leiston has a good range of shops and amenities for all ages including a Co-op supermarket, chemists, hardware stores, a post office, doctors and dentist surgeries, a primary and secondary school, vets, library, sports centre, cinema and recreational parks as well as a good selection of pubs and fast-food takeaways.
