Westleton

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Westleton is a village in Suffolk, England. It is located 5 miles northeast of Saxmundham. It is situated near the sea-coast, and comprises some salt marshes, and a portion of sandy heath.

Westleton Heath National Nature Reserve is 1 km north east of the village of Westleton. The heath is crossed by a minor road from Westleton to the coastal village of Dunwich, 2 km to the east.

The village is home to Chapel Books, an independent bookshop house in an old chapel. It has been immortalised in print in Julie Myerson's 2003 novel, Something Might Happen, as the location for a seduction scene.
