Snape Maltings is a unique collection of converted granaries and malt houses in the old malt factory which now host a wide range of shops, particularly home and garden shops, alongside a beautiful riverbank.
The "Plough and sail" in a great pub and restaurant to make up calories that were lost on the beautiful walks round the site along the river alde, with its abundant wildlife around the reed beds.
Not forgetting the granary tea shop located on site.
Tide permitting, you can also take a boat excursion around the upper reaches of the River Alde - a good way to see the animal and bird life of the salt marshes.
A haven for birdlife with its expansive estuary. Being tidal it’s a place of glistening mud and shallow open water, filled twice a day by the incoming tide and rich in wildlife throughout the year.
