Seaside hotspot with 'buzzing food scene' named among world's best getaways
Spring can be a great time to explore new places as the days get longer and the weather gets sunnier and brighter.
Olive Magazine has shared a list of the best getaways across the world for food lovers to enjoy.
While European cities and the remote islands of The Philippines were among the recommendations, the lifestyle guide also highlighted adventures closer to home.
The town of Aldeburgh was chosen for foodies who also enjoy walks on the beach.

"For walks take a stroll along the beach to local artist Maggi Hambling's sculpture Scallop.
"For something longer, walk from Aldeburgh along the Sailor's Path all the way over to Snape Maltings. Passing cows and pigs, it's a blissful walk through Snape Warren and the marshes - perfect for taking in Suffolk's varying landscapes."
Some of the recommendations to eat include the "best toastie in town" from the Chocolate Teapot cafe in High Street followed by a scoop of ice cream from Ives or Harris & James.

Food lovers looking for fine-dining can opt for a meal at The Suffolk, which was recommended as the place to stay by Olive Magazine.
Owned by George Pell, the restaurant with rooms has previously received national recognition as one of the best places to stay in the country.
Luke Truelove, who recently worked under celebrity chef Tom Kerridge, took over the kitchen at the start of the year and launched a new menu continuing to use local Suffolk produce.
