The town is close to some major archaeological sites of the Anglo-Saxon period, including the Sutton Hoo burial ship, and had 35 households at the time of the Domesday Book of 1086. It is well known for its boating harbour and tide mill next to the Deben River, on the edge of the Suffolk Coast and Heath Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.[3] Several festivals are held.[4] As a "gem in Suffolk's crown",[5] it has been named the best place to live in the East of England.[6]
