Leiston Abbey
Leiston Abbey is a beautiful historic site dating from 1363, set in the Suffolk countryside on the heritage coast. Nearby are the seaside towns of Aldeburgh and Southwold, and the RSPB Bird Reserve at Minsmere is just a short distance away.

Leiston Abbey is the home of Pro Corda, the National School for Young Chamber Music Players. When courses are not in session, the facilities and buildings are available to hire throughout the year.
