Sizewell
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sizewell is a small fishing village with a few holiday homes in the county of Suffolk, England. It is located on the East Anglian coast just north of the larger holiday villages of Thorpeness and Aldeburgh, and two miles from the town of Leiston. It is within the Suffolk Coast and Heaths AONB.
The village was part of the Ogilvie estate, which extended as far south as Aldeburgh. Sizewell Hall, now used as a Christian conference centre, is still owned by the Ogilvie family.
[edit] Nuclear power stations
The village itself is overshadowed by two separate nuclear power stations, Sizewell A and Sizewell B, which are readily visible from the nearby holiday beaches.
