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 east of Woodbridge 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.
