VILLAGE VOICES

the website for Hollesley,
Boyton, Capel St Andrew
and Shingle Street

 
Welcome to the Village Voices website, covering the Suffolk villages of Hollesley, Boyton, Capel
St Andrew and Shingle Street, located in the picturesque Sandlings peninsula near the North Sea.

     
    Are you searching for a place to visit or to stay for a holiday which is off the beaten 
    track, but reachable ?  Then welcome to the website for the Suffolk villages of 
    Hollesley, Boyton, Capel St Andrew and Shingle Street.  The pace of life is slower 
    here, but your days will be filled with variety and interest.  Great countryside, the 
    coast and wildlife are close for you to enjoy.  If you like walking, cycling, photography, 
    bird watching, painting, writing or just meandering, the peace and beauty of the pine
    -dotted landscapes beneath the great Suffolk sky will delight you.  This cluster of 
    small villages and hamlets lies near the southern tip of the Sandlings Peninsula that 
    is renowned for its wild and beautiful coast, tracts of inland heathland, forests and 
    open farmland.  When you navigate these pages or look at our Picture Gallery, we 
    think you will see why we are excited by what's here.
     
    We look forward to sharing it with you.
