Westleton is a picture book village, with everything a village should have. There’s a village green, where the annual Barrel Fair takes place in August, and open air film screenings; there’s a duck pond, and a 14^th century thatched roofed church, which regularly hosts classical music concerts, flower festivals etc. Westleton has two pubs, the White Horse and The Crown. Both  serve food, the White Horse doing mainly pub grub, while the restaurant at the Crown is of a very high standard. There is an excellent general store and post office in the village, a tea room/bakery, which also serves evening meals at the weekends (bring your own wine), a garage and a well-known second-hand bookshop. The village hall is lively, with frequent events such as quiz nights, dances, bring and buy sales and painting exhibitions.

From the village, there are beautiful walks in all directions - to Minsmere, Dunwich, Eastbridge, Walberswick and beyond.
