A quintessential village in the Suffolk countryside

Did you know?
Westleton's 14th century church, St Peter, was built by monks from Sibton Abbey near Saxmundham. The church's tower has been toppled twice, firstly in in 1776 under the strain of hurricane winds and again during World War II when it was destroyed by a bomb.
The village is home to two pubs, the White Horse and The Westleton Crown; a historic coaching inn which dates back to the 12th century. Today it's a stylish hotel and eaterie; the perfect place to rest your head and tuck into dishes made from fresh, local produce.
