About Leiston

Known for

The Sizewell nuclear power stations (A, B and the proposed C), the Leiston Abbey ruins, Aldeburgh nearby, and a small Suffolk town defined by its nuclear power relationship

A little history

Leiston has had an extraordinary relationship with nuclear power since Sizewell A opened in 1966. The town has lived alongside nuclear power stations for over 50 years. Leiston Abbey, a ruined Premonstratensian monastery, predates the nuclear industry by 700 years. Aldeburgh, one of Suffolk's finest towns, is a short drive.

Local tip

The Leiston Abbey ruins are free and beautiful. Aldeburgh is 5 miles — one of Suffolk's great coastal towns. The RSPB Minsmere reserve for outstanding birdwatching. The Long Shop Museum for the industrial heritage.
