Location

Shingle Street or originally known as Shinglestreet in the late Eighteen century, where pilots stayed to help navigate the Alde and the Ore, over the treacherous shingle bar. Then during the Napoleonic wars, the defensive Martello Towers were built. The pilots' wooden cottages and the towers were then handed over to the newly formed coastal guards. The area now is small community of homes and the sense of a place steeped in mystery remains.
The closest village is Hollesley with its village shop, although Shingle Street is in the parish of Bawdsey. Bawdsey has a ferry service to Felixstowe and Woodbridge is just under 10 miles by car and offers an excellent array of shopping and recreational facilities. It also has a railway station to Ipswich which is on the mainline to London.
